Can someone please explain why jQuery automatically sets a variable using the ids in a HTML document? I am using jsFiddle to test this behaviour with jQuery 1.11.0
<div id ="hero"></div>
alert(hero);
This displays the DOM Object.

1This is a behaviour of native JS - nothing to do with jQuery. – Rory McCrossan Nov 12 '15 at 11:50
