I am looking to add a class to the body element of the DOM. For something so simple, and with the body element itself loading quick (at least, I would think it would load q
document.body.className += ' home';
Performance comparision: className vs classList vs addClass :
Update(based on PSL's comment)
or for newer ones
document.body.classList.add("home");Make sure you do this under the
<body>, it won't work if applied from a<head>script
Right after the opening body tag, you can create a script tag :
<body>
<script>
$('body').addClass('home')
</script>
<!-- HTML content bellow -->
</body>
The only condition is that the jQuery is loaded in the head.
