jQuery toggle - Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function

Question

i try to show one element of a class with this jquery code:

jQuery('.slide_cover').get(0).toggle(800);

but i get this error:

Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function 

and code lick this works fine:

jQuery('.slide_cover').toggle(800);

also if i try to get the element in console so it works

jQuery('.slide_cover').get(0)

Can you help me? Thank you!

When you're using get(), jQuery returns the native (underlying) DOM object from the array of elements in context and that HTMLElement doesn't provide the toggle() method.

If you want to call toggle only on the first element in context, try this:

jQuery('.slide_cover:first').toggle(800);
