This is an identifier generally used to associate an element with a style sheet rule defined for a class selector. You can alter the class association for an element by script. If the document includes an alternate class selector and style rule, adjusting the element's className property can provide a shortcut for adjusting many style properties at once.

Example

document.getElementById("elementID").className = "altHighlighted";

Value
Case-sensitive string. Multiple class names are space-delimited within the string.

Default
Empty string.
