title: Cannot apply knockout bindings, even with the default tutorial
body: <p>I am trying to apply bindings to a specific DOM element, but I am having no success with either my code or the example <a href="http://knockoutjs.com/examples/helloWorld.html" rel="nofollow">here</a></p>
  
  <p>this is what I have right now:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var Test = function(first, last){
      this.first = ko.observable(first);
      this.last = ko.observable(last);
  }
  
  ko.applyBindings(new Test("Hello", "World"), $("#Element").get());
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I keep getting this</p>
  
  <pre><code>Uncaught Error: ko.applyBindings: first parameter should be your view model; second parameter should be a DOM node 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried giving it only the jQuery element to no avail as well.  I can confirm that $("#Element") is part of the DOM both visually and through console testing.</p>
