I am trying to get the li tag from a ul element and then hide them but when i call the hide function I get Object # has no method 'hide'

 var li = $(this).siblings("ul").children("li");
 li.get(0).hide ();

I think that the problem is that I can't call regular jquery method unless its a object if so how can I get the object and not or if not how do I call methods form

.get(0) returns the native element.

To hide the first element, use .eq() instead:

li.eq(0).hide();
