title: JQuery select by ID vs document.GetElementByID
body: <p>I'm just starting with JQuery and am working through a tutorial vid.  At one point the presenters go for javascript instead of a JQuery selector.  Just wondering why the javascript getElementById below works fine when passing an object to a function, but the second one doesn't?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
  
  <pre><code>// works
  addTask(document.getElementById('taskText'), evt);
  
  // doesn't
  addTask($('#taskText'), evt);
  </code></pre>
