I didn't try it but I am guessing...

document.getElementById("mydiv&quot.class = "new class name";

no, and no. here is my test code so you know it's not my fault:

<style>
.class1 {font-size:40px}
.class2 {font-size:10px}
</style>
<script>
document.getElementById(&quot;mydiv&quot.setAttribute(&quot;class&quot;,&quot;class2&quot; //here is where i tried the other ways as well.
</script>
<div class=&quot;class1&quot; id=&quot;mydiv&quot;>fggeergreterg</div>

ok, i apologise. after swiming through devedge (netscape's developer site) className turns out to be correct. question though, why dose my code not work?

The flow of a document is from top to bottom. With that example you just showed the javascript tries to access a thing that does not yet exist.

try calling the JS code after the div is loaded :

<style>
.class1 {font-size:40px}
.class2 {font-size:10px}
</style>

<div class=&quot;class1&quot; id=&quot;mydiv&quot;>fggeergreterg</div>

<script>
document.getElementById(&quot;mydiv&quot.setAttribute(&quot;class&quot;,&quot;class2&quot; //here is where i tried the other ways as well.
</script>

Hope this helps. Gary
