This wikiHow will teach you how to add a class with jQuery. This line of code will add the class to the selected element, but it does not permanently add or remove attributes to the original class.
Steps
-
1Open your code in an editor. You can use free programs like default word processing apps like Notepad for Windows or Text Edit for Mac, or you can get Notepad++ for Windows or Atom for Mac.
-
2Insert the following code to where you want to add classes:
$(selector).addClass(classname,function(index,currentclass)). You'll need to change the element from "selector" to the element or tag that you want to add to.[1]- You'll also need to change the class name to the class name you're changing as well as index and currentclass.

3Save your changes. If you're using a word processor that supports code, like Atom, you'll be able to preview your work within the app. [2]Advertisement
