title: How do I get first element rather than using [0] in jQuery?
body: <p>I'm new to jQuery, apologies if this is a silly question.</p>
  
  <p>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>
