[jQuery] $("#id").get() vs getElementByID()

[jQuery] $("#id").get() vs getElementByID()


Hello,
This works when calling an external javascript library:
var doodad = document.getElementById("plasma");
Drag.init( doodad );
And this doesn't:
var doodad = $("#plasma").get();
Drag.init( doodad );
They both return [object HTMLDivElement]
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
ml
