How to do a document.getElementById("mytextbo").select() in jquery?

[eric.advincula]

I've been searching and i'm not quite sure how to do it.  Anyone else
know how? Thanks

$("#mytextbo")[0].select();

jQuery(selectorString), or the "shortcut" $(selectorString), always
return an array like object. To "run" the select() on it you have to
access one of the "raw" elements it contains, hence the [0], which
retrieves the first element in the "array".
