without wrapping jQuery search result
<p>ASP.NET is changing id, name values according to control's parent control name. That's why i am searching id with JQUERY as below.</p>

<pre><code>// $ is looking to the end of "id" attribute of input elements
$("input[id$='cbAddToNews']")
</code></pre>

<p>Only one element is returning by jQuery. But when i want to change the attribute, I'm using this syntax:</p>

<pre><code>$($("input[id$='cbAddToNews']")[0]).show()
</code></pre>

<p>Is there any way to do this without wrapping it with <code>$(...[0])</code> ?</p>
