$

From FirebugWiki

This command returns a single HTML or XML element with the given id. This means it is actually a shortcut for document.querySelector().

If the JavaScript on the page already defines $ for something else (like e.g. jQuery does), it will not be overwritten by this command.

[edit] Parameters

[edit] selector
