title: Differences between jQuery selector, find and get
body: <p>I would like to know what is the real differences between all these ways to get an object in jQuery.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><code>$('[id*="partofthename"]')</code></li>
  <li><code>$('#name')</code></li>
  <li><code>$find('id_of_control')</code></li>
  <li><code>$get('id_of_control')</code></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I did some research and I found that:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>It's the right way to find a control by its ID, but it's the same as 2 and 4. Am I right?</li>
  <li>The second one is a shorcut for number 4. <code>$get</code>. Isn't it?</li>
  <li><code>$find</code> is getting the object with properties and methods</li>
  <li><code>$get</code> is the same as <code>document.getElementById()</code></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Now for number 3. and 4. Big deal.
  With <code>$find</code> and <code>$get</code> both give me objects. <code>$find</code> is for .NETs <code>findComponent()</code> function</p>
  
  <p><code>$get</code> &amp; <code>$find</code> are shortcut functions Microsoft has built into their Ajax JavaScript Library.</p>
  
  <p>But when we talk to DOM element and javascript object.</p>
