Those are alternate methods to get a jQuery reference to the same element. But it's still not a DOM reference. For that you'd need the [0] that Karl indicated. The .get(0) method might be suitable here as well, but I'm not clear right now if that returns a DOM object or a jQuery object - I *think* it's a DOM object, but it's been a while since I've used it....

What about

$('#context .target')

Or

$('#context div')

Subject: [jQuery] Standard DOM returned from jQuery selector



I have a feeling I'm just missing something in the documentation, but is
there anyway to get a standard DOM object to return from a jquery
selector?

<div id="context">
   <div class="target"></div>
</div>

Essentially I want a way for $('.target', '#context')  to give me the
equivalent of
document.getElementById('context').getElementsByTagName('div')[0]
