Ok I think that may answer the next question.
Are you saying that an assertion:
$(this)[0] == this
will always be true?
In other words, if I am using ID selectors and want to access a DOM
property/method should I read the first element or can I just use the
jQuery:
$("#myDiv").selectedIndex;
or should it always be one of:
$("#myDiv").get(0).selectedIndex;
$("#myDiv")[0].selectedIndex;
Sorry for the thread hijack ;-)

Just to remember:
$(this)[0] == this
Wrapping a jQuery around the element to immediatly get it out there is a
little over the top most of the time ;-)
