If execute the following

 

jQuery('#'+id).remove();
alert(jQuery('#'+id));
alert(document.getElementById(id));

 

the first alert returns [object Object]

while the second one returns null

 

surely the first one should also return null as the documentation states that it uses the document.getElementById function internally?

(remove does clear the inner HTML, so .html() returns null)

 

using jQuery v1.4.2

 

Thanks
