Is there an equivalent to this statement in jQuery? 

var value = document.getElementById(id).files[0];

Using the standard jQuery selectors with .files[0] appended doesn't appear to work, and I can't find an equivalent jQuery command to .files. Any suggestions?

I'm using this to retrieve the file from an input type='file' form element.
