Accessing the elements by index returns the element itself. To call
jQuery methods you'd need to do this:

THIS is what I did........
div2 = divs[2] --> is IGNORED....
It's NOT ignored. It returns a DOM node ( <div id="test3"> )
Please re-read what mkmanning wrote, because he's absolutely correct.
pls run http://www.mayacove.com/dev/jquery/arrays.html on Firefox with
JS console open, you will see it says:
div2.addClass' is not a function... this is b/c the line div2 = divs
[2] is IGNORED...
No again. It's because you can't attach a jQuery method to a DOM node.
You have to attach it to a jQuery object.
Instead of div2.addClass('red') , try $(div2).addClass('red')
Or better yet, try this:
var div2 = $('div:eq(2)');
div2.addClass('red');
Keep in mind, though, that JavaScript is zero-indexed, so you'll be
add the class to the third div.
