jQuery : eq() vs get()

Question

I\'m new to jQuery, and I\'m wondering what the difference is between jQuery\'s get() and eq() functions. I may misunderstand what the get()

Answer 1

eq(i) retrieves the ith member in the receiver's set as a jQuery object, while get(i) returns the member at the ith position as a DOM element.

The reason why this doesn't work:

$("h2").get(0).fadeIn("slow");

Is because the h2 DOM element doesn't have a method called fadeIn.

You should use eq(0) here instead.
