You can use $event equavalent to javascript event ..

<form v-on:submit.prevent="save_data($event)"></form>

methods: {
   save_data: function(f){
     console.log(f.target); // form element
   }
}

To get the actual form element you can assing it a ref attribute on the HTML like so:

<form v-on:submit.prevent="save_data(this)" ref="myForm"></form>

Then in your root instance of Vue you can retrieve the element like so:

this.$refs.myForm.$el

In the example OP gave, jquery will return a dom element, so the equivalent would be this.$refs.myForm.$el

@smac89 Correct. Edited answer.
