jqLite does not allow to select a button

[KamBha]

For some reason, in jqLite this fails:-

angular.element('button').css('display', 'none');

Now, I can't see anything in the documentation that would indicate why angular.element('button') doesn't work.

but angular.element('div') would work.

Here is an example:-

Can we either clarify why angular.element doesn't work here in the documentation or update jqLite to allow for selecting the button tag.

There is nothing special about buttons or divs. In fact angular.element('div') will fail as well.
If you want to select all elements by tag-name, you can use something like $document.find('button') (updated plnkr) - but you should be doing this in a controller _{(just saying...)}.

As explained in the docs, the element argument (in angular.element(element)) is an "HTML string or DOMElement to be wrapped into jQuery".
I agree that is not super-clear, so if you would like to submit a PR to improve the docs, we would gladly consider it 😃
