jqueryHow do I use jQuery to set an attribute?

To use jQuery to set an attribute, you can use the attr() method. This method takes two parameters, the first being the attribute to set, and the second being the value to set the attribute to. For example, the following code will set the class attribute of the #example element to my-class:

$('#example').attr('class', 'my-class');

Code explanation

• $('#example'): Selects the element with the ID example
• attr('class', 'my-class'): Sets the class attribute of the selected element to my-class
