Get normal JavaScript array of dom elements from jquery select

Question

From the following jQuery command I get several input elements:

$("#main :input")

Now I need those elements as a normal JavaScript array with the normal DOM elements.

In order to get this, do I have to create this array by myself using:

var normalList = [];
$("#main :input").each(function() {
  normalList.push(this);
})

or is there some shorter way?

Thanks alot in advance

var sweetArray = [].slice.call($("#main :input"));

Here you go.
