title: jQuery ID Selector ("#id") Returns Array
body: <p>I'm using jQuery v1.6.1 in noConflict mode.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using id selectors such as <code>$j("#divID").value</code> to get values of stored items.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, <code>$j("#inputID")</code> is returning a list of items, so I have to use the <code>$j("divID")[0].value</code> to get the value of the object. The <code>[0]</code> seems unnecessary, since there is, by definition, only one html element with any given id.</p>
  
  <p>Is this the appropriate way to gets values from an IDed object? Or is there a better way?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
