If you're repeatedly accessing the first DOM object of a jQuery
selector array, it's a good practice to set a variable:

var myObject = $('#foo')[0];

..then you can access DOM properties like you're used to doing, & also
save the browser from the duplicate object lookups:

myObject.className
myObject.size
myObject.type
