In my previous posts, you learn how to apply CSS styles by using element id and element type. In this article I am explaining how to apply styles by using classname of an element.
<html>
<head>
<title>This is jquery example for applying styles using classname</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.pclass').addClass('italicbold');
});
</script>
<style type="text/css">
.italicbold
{
font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="pclass">
This is jquery example to make text as italic and bold by using class name
</p>
</body>
</html>
In the above code we have one <p> tag with class name as "pclass".
$('.pclass').addClass('italicbold') will apply the CSS class "italicbold" to the element whose classname is "pclass".
