Getting an element as jQuery object from a set of elements
<p>Is there a way to get an element from a jQuery object, but <em>as</em> jQuery object?</p>

<p>If I wanted to get the text of elements, presently I'd write it like this:</p>

<pre><code>var elements = $(".set");
for (var idx=0; idx&lt;elements.size(); idx++) {
    var text = $(elements.get(idx)).text();
    // do something with text
}
</code></pre>

<p>Note that I have to wrap <code>elements.get(idx)</code> in another jQuery call <code>$()</code>.</p>

<p>I realize this isn't that big a deal, I just want to make sure I'm not doing extra work if there is an easier way.</p>
