className

This property gets/sets the class of the current element

Syntax

element.className = name
 
Parameters

name is a string representing the class of the current element.

Example
el = document.getElementById("div1"); if (el.className == "fixed") { // skip a particular class of element goNextElement(); }
Notes

The name className is used for this property instead of "class" because of conflicts with the "class" keyword in many languages which use the DOM.
