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

From now on is better to use the .prop() function instead of the .attr() one.

Here the jQuery documentation:

As of jQuery 1.6, the .attr() method returns undefined for attributes that have not been set. In addition, .attr() should not be used on plain objects, arrays, the window, or the document. To retrieve and change DOM properties, use the .prop() method.

var div1Class = $('#div1').prop('class');
