[jQuery] document.getElementById shortcut?
I found myself using document.getElementById often in my coding.
Is there a shortcut for it in JQuery?
PS: $('#id') is not a shortcut. Since $('#myimage').src will not work.
$('#myimage').attr('src') will but I think that
document.getElementById is when I do not need extensive JQuery
selection ability.
Plus it's
a) faster
b) I can always convert to JQuery collection if I need to do something
fancy like
var myelement = document.getElementById('myimage');
$(myelement).hide('slow');
PPS: so far i am thinking of creating my own $$('myimage')
Thanks
George.
