jquery selecting specific element and manipulating it
<p>ok, bit of a noob question - and more to satisfy my need to understand WHY i cant do this, or how to do it better....</p>

<pre><code>$("#hi div").hide();
var temp = $("#hi div")[0];
$(temp).show();
</code></pre>

<p>This works, fantastic.</p>

<pre><code>$("#hi div")[0].show();
</code></pre>

<p>Why doesnt that work!
Is there a short hand way to do what I need to do, without having to define a variable?</p>
