Those are alternate methods to get a jQuery reference to the same element. But it's still not a DOM reference. For that you'd need the [0] that Karl indicated. The .get(0) method might be suitable here as well, but I'm not clear right now if that returns a DOM object or a jQuery object - I *think* it's a DOM object, but it's been a while since I've used it....
