jqueryHow do I use jQuery to add a class to an element?


To add a class to an element using jQuery, you can use the addClass() method. This method takes a single argument, which is the name of the class to be added. Here is an example code block:

$('#myElement').addClass('myClass');

This code adds the class myClass to the element with the ID of myElement.

The code is composed of the following parts:

  1. $('#myElement'): This is a jQuery selector which selects the element with the ID of myElement.
  2. .addClass('myClass'): This is the addClass() method which adds the class myClass to the selected element.
