That makes sense since we're so jQuery dependent. I was just surprised to learn that many jQuery developers do it the other way.

I've been using the assumption that everything is a jQuery unless specified. So:

var foo = $("div");

var fooEl = foo[0];

Hi,
There is a little discussion on the jQuery Google Group about using $ when declaring variables that contain a jQuery object.

So:

        var $foo = $("div");

instead of just:

        var foo = $("div");

Any opinions.

I have a case, in the scroller, were I have to refer to an element both as a jQuery object and a DOM object (because jQuery doesn't support the method that I need) and it would make the code perhaps clearer... at least to those who know the convention. Perhaps more confusing to those who don't.
