How do I use a jquery method on a variable when the same method exists in Javascript?

Question

Specifically, I want to call the .which function on a character without having to discriminate browser types by using the jQuery .which method, which I am told normalizes for browser differences. However, the innate javascript method also exists, so if I called character.which, I would get the javascript .which keycode instead of the jquery one (presumably). Do I use $(character) .which or $("character") .which or will this not work at all? What's the syntax?

Answer 1

The jQuery is bit different in terms of Syntax as if you are using jQuery the process is:

$("ELEMENT_TO_BE_PROCESSED").FUNCTION/OBJECT;
