How can I get the current class of a div with jQuery?

Question

Using jQuery, how can I get the current class of a div called div1?

Answer 1

Simply by

var divClass = $("#div1").attr("class")

You can do some other stuff to manipulate element's class

$("#div1").addClass("foo"); // add class 'foo' to div1
$("#div1").removeClass("foo"); // remove class 'foo' from div1
$("#div1").toggleClass("foo"); // toggle class 'foo'
