alert( $get("<%= telerikAjaxCtrlID.ClientID %>"));
give you "object"
and
alert( $find("<%= telerikAjaxCtrlID.ClientID %>"));
give you "object object"
and that you can apply JQuery operations against the objects the statements return. And, I have read some Telerik documentation that refers me to http://api.jquery.com to get a list of what JQuery methods and properties are available because Telerik uses the original JQuery library that has been modified in a minor way with some appended code while preserving the original.
But, the api.jquery.com documentation describes functions such as $.get and $.find (NOT $get and $find), and none of the JQuery methods and properties that can be applied to $.get and $.find seem to work against what is returned by $find and $get. For example, the JQuery $.get function is used to retrieve javascript from the server - not to locate any controls on a page. I can't see how anyone could expect methods and properties that come from $.get to be able to work with $get which you seem to use to locate controls.
Where can I find documentation that describes the jquery methods and properties availabe from the objects returned by $find and $get. I can't use intellisense because I'm working on a corporate project, where the team leader won't allow the insertion of JQuery intellesense libraries into the webpages. Besides, I'm NOT looking for intellisense. I need a printed list of methods/properties that I can use which I can reference and have a global view of.
