jquery can't find firebreath object

Question

I'm creating a web video player using Firebreath to compile my C/C++ codec as a browser plugin. Now the plugin is loaded OK and works (start, stop video etc.). The next step would be to implement full screen which would require to change the width and height of the plugin object (plus other stuff of course), but jQuery seems unable to find it.

This is my HTML:

<div id="player0" class="playerUI ui-draggable">
    <object id="plugin0" type="application/x-webplayer" style="width: 500px; height: 300px;">
    </object><br>
</div>

I would like to dynamically resize the object but when I try both

jQuery("#plugin0")  

and

document.getElementById("#plugin0")  

I get [] (null I would guess)

If I try jQuery('object') I get [TypeError]

On the other hand if I try to handle player0 with jQuery everything works fine. What am I missing?

Thanks!

there are a lot of reasons why, but jquery doesn't work well when wrapped around a firebreath plugin object tag; I spent about 8 hours working on this issue once and eventually determined that it wasn't a big enough deal to keep working on. I recommend you just don't do this. IF you need to move or position it, make it 100% x 100% and put it in a div and move that, it'll save you a lot of grief.
