How do I get first element rather than using [0] in jquery
<p>I'm new to JQuery, appologies if this is a silly question.
When I use it find an element using the id, I know theres always one match and in order to access it I would use the index [0]. Is there a better way of doing this?
For e.g.</p>

<pre><code>var gridHeader = $("#grid_GridHeader")[0];
</code></pre>
