That's the question, but specifically my problem is:

1. I can't execute getComputedStyle it keep yelling the first parameter is not type of element.
2. I can't access raw DOM property.
3. Often i can't see raw DOM property in web console.

I care more about my understanding rather than getting my code running.

Angular Element: If jQuery is available, angular.element is an alias for the jQuery function. If jQuery is not available, angular.element delegates to Angular's built-in subset of jQuery, called "jQuery lite" or jqLite.

DOM element: Document object model. The DOM is the way Javascript sees its containing pages' data. It is an object that includes how the HTML/XHTML/XML is formatted, as well as the browser state.

A DOM element is something like a DIV, HTML, BODY element on a page. You can add classes to all and add style with respect to added classes using CSS, or interact with them using JS. look at this answer What is DOM element?
