select div by id using vanilla JS instead of JQuery $ selector to apply Raphaeljs method

I'm using RaphaelJs' mousedown() method. The problem is, I want to apply mousedown() on div which is being selected using $(id) selector of JQuery. I want to use vanilla Js for it because I don't want to use Jquery for some performance reasons. (See code on JsFiddle).

I tried document.getElementById() method, but the object returned by it is not compatible with RaphaelJs' mousedown() method

can anyone suggest me any way to get this done?

let idRaw = document.getElementById('canvas');
let id = '#canvas';

/**
* I want idRaw.mousedown(...); instead of $(id).mousedown(...);
* to know more check the jsFiddle link above
*/

$(id).mousedown(...);
$(id).mousemove(...);
$(id).mouseup(...);
Solution

  • What about this:

    idRaw.addEventListener('mousedown', e => {
    // Your code
)
