jQuery - find last class on the element

Question

How to find last class on the element without knowing exact number of classes?

Our element:

 
&l         


        
      

Answer 1

The simplest solution is to use pop, which accesses the last element in the array.

var lastClass = $('div').attr('class').split(' ').pop();

Note that pop also removes the element from the array, but since you aren't doing anything else with it, that's not a problem.
