What is Raw DOM Objects in Jquery?.

[Bear Bibeault]

No idea. Need more context to properly contemplate the question. Where did you see this term? How was it used in context?

The only thing I can guess is that it would refer to DOM elements not wrapped by a jQuery wrapped set.

[Rob Crowther]

I suspect he means $('#myelement')[0].

[Bear Bibeault]

Or any other way to get to the unwrapped element -- that was my suspicion as well.

[Vishal Hegde]

I heard it from one of my Collegues are DOM Object and Jquery Objects different?

[Rob Crowther]

Yes, jQuery objects usually wrap DOM objects to provide convenient cross-browser compatible functionality.

[Bear Bibeault]

The "jQuery object" is a wrapper that is created by calling the jQuery (or $) function with a selector, and "wraps" the selected DOM elements. The wrapper provides methods that operate on the DOM elements inside the wrapper.
