Getting the base element from a jQuery object

Question

I\'m struggling to find the right terminology here, but if you have jQuery object...

$(\'#MyObject\')

...is it possible to extract the base

Answer 1

$('#MyObject').get(0);

I think that's what you want. I think you can also reference it like a regular array with:

$('#MyObject')[0];

But I'm not sure if that will always work. Stick with the first syntax.
