converting jquery object to regular js within a function

Question

if a jquery object is passed into a function, can I get the 'regular' js out of it so I can run things like:

foo($(this))

function foo(node){
    var jsnode = regular js object
    var num = (jsnode.id).substr((jsnode.id).length-1, 1);
}

If it's quite complicated I can just work with the jQuery... just curious!

You can either use the get method:

var jsnode = node.get(0); //Returns the node at index 0

Or you can use the array notation:

var jsnode = node[0]; //Also returns the node at index 0

Yes, just access the regular JavaScript at node[0]
