jQuery('#elemID') != document.getElementById('elemID')

Hey, everyone.

Help me to understand something.

I have a function that will take all the spans with a certain class ("jobStatus") and remove an additional class from it ("orange"). I call the function from a SELECT onchange (onchange="chgJobstatus(this);"). It's working great.

However, I'm trying to get it to run on page load, based upon the selected value (this is server-side dynamically generated.)

This will work:
Code:
$(document).ready(function(){
  chgJobstatus(document.getElementById("chgStatus"));
});
This will NOT work:
Code:
$(document).ready(function(){
  chgJobstatus(jQuery('#chgStatus'));
});
Doesn't jQuery('#id') do the same thing as document.getElementById('#id') ??

Thank you,
