Why does my javascript statement stop working once I use jquery?

This line in my js file seems to stop working if I try to change my website color from pink to purple (see webpage below):

document.getElementById("submit").className = 'formButtonPurple';

Ok these two ways seem to work now. Is there no difference between these two in terms of which one gets preference?

$(".formButton").css("background-color", "#5959ff");
document.getElementById("submit").style.background = "#5959ff";

I personally prefer using jQuery method as there will be a uniformity in coding.
