hi Greeg,
Probably you've found solution for your question but because I had
faced the same problem as you, and it get me a while to find out
solution i'll answer just in case somebody else will meet the same
problem.
Check this page

In case if it's offline:
The problem is because JQuery always return array even if
documentation say that should be one element, so use $('#id')[0] to
get clean dom object :)
