How to call javascript original function while using selector

How to call javascript original function while using selector

Hi:

I meet a problem when using selector. The code snippet is as following:
  1. var nodeID = document.getElementById(nodeid);
    if (nodeID != null) {
        var handling = $("#" + nodeid);
        handling .empty();
        nodeID.parentElement.removeChild(nodeID);
    }
I hope I can use
  1. handling.parentElement.removeChild(nodeID);
but it in fact not working and return error.
is there any way to call javascript prototype function when using selector,
thanks a lot.
