Get class list for element with jQuery

Question

Is there a way in jQuery to loop through or assign to an array all of the classes that are assigned to an element?

ex.

Answer 1

The question is what Jquery is designed to do.

$('.dolor_spec').each(function(){ //do stuff

And why has no one given .find() as an answer?

$('div').find('.dolor_spec').each(function(){
  ..
});

There is also classList for non-IE browsers:

if element.classList.contains("dolor_spec") {  //do stuff
