var el = document.getElementsByClassName("foo2"); var className = el.className;
getElementsByTagName
var el = document.getElementsByTagName("div")[0]; var className = el.className;
querySelector (#id)
var el = document.querySelector('#foo'); var className = el.className;
querySelector (.id)
var el = document.querySelector('.foo2'); var className = el.className;
querySelectorAll (#id)
var el = document.querySelectorAll('#foo'); var className = el.className;
querySelectorAll (.id)
var el = document.querySelectorAll('.foo2'); var className = el.className;
Cash (#id)
var el = $("#foo"); var className = el.className;
Cash (.id)
var el = $(".foo2"); var className = el.className;
Cash (tag#id)
var el = $("div#foo"); var className = el.className;
Cash (tag.id)
var el = $("div.foo2"); var className = el.className;
Cash + getElementById
var el = $(document.getElementById("foo")); var className = el.className;
Cash + getElementsByClassName
var el = $(document.getElementsByClassName("foo2")); var className = el.className;
jQuery (#id)
var el = jQuery("#foo"); var className = el.className;
jQuery (.id)
var el = jQuery(".foo2"); var className = el.className;
jQuery (tag#id)
var el = jQuery("div#foo"); var className = el.className;
jQuery (tag.id)
var el = jQuery("div.foo2"); var className = el.className;
jQuery + getElementById
var el = jQuery(document.getElementById("foo")); var className = el.className;
jQuery + getElementsByClassName
var el = jQuery(document.getElementsByClassName("foo2")); var className = el.className;
