Random just out of curiosity question:
Let's say for whatever reason I get an element back from a function
$(element)
But I want to remove the $( __ ) jQuery wrapper to leave the regular DOM Element:
element
Is this possible? (I'm sure it'd be smart to test $(element).length() to make sure it isn't more than 1 thing inside beforehand too...

When a jQuery object is passed to the $() function, a clone of the object is created. This new jQuery object references the same DOM elements as the initial one.
$() The $() function is shorthand for the getElementByID method, which, as noted above, returns the ID of a specific element of an HTML DOM. It's frequently used for manipulating elements in a document. $() allows for shorter and more efficient JavaScript coding.
The Document Object Model (DOM) elements are something like a DIV, HTML, BODY element on the HTML page. A jQuery Selector is used to select one or more HTML elements using jQuery. Mostly we use Selectors for accessing the DOM elements.
jQuery also has a method named . get() which provides a related function. Instead of returning a jQuery-wrapped DOM element, it returns the DOM element itself.
var firstElem = $(element)[0];
or
var firstElem = $(element).get(0);
Calling get() without an index gives you an array of the elements.
