Using plain JavaScript (not jQuery), Is there any way to check if an element contains a class?
Currently, I\'m doing this:
Just to add to the answer for people trying to find class names within inline SVG elements.
Change the hasCLass()
function to:
function hasClass(element, cls) {
return (' ' + element.getAttribute('class') + ' ').indexOf(' ' + cls + ' ') > -1;
}
Instead of using the className
property you'll need to use the getAttribute()
method to grab the class name.
This is a little old, but maybe someone will find my solution helpfull:
// Fix IE's indexOf Array
if (!Array.prototype.indexOf) {
Array.prototype.indexOf = function (searchElement) {
if (this == null) throw new TypeError();
var t = Object(this);
var len = t.length >>> 0;
if (len === 0) return -1;
var n = 0;
if (arguments.length > 0) {
n = Number(arguments[1]);
if (n != n) n = 0;
else if (n != 0 && n != Infinity && n != -Infinity) n = (n > 0 || -1) * Math.floor(Math.abs(n));
}
if (n >= len) return -1;
var k = n >= 0 ? n : Math.max(len - Math.abs(n), 0);
for (; k < len; k++) if (k in t && t[k] === searchElement) return k;
return -1;
}
}
// add hasClass support
if (!Element.prototype.hasClass) {
Element.prototype.hasClass = function (classname) {
if (this == null) throw new TypeError();
return this.className.split(' ').indexOf(classname) === -1 ? false : true;
}
}
I think that perfect solution will be this
if ($(this).hasClass("your_Class"))
alert("positive");
else
alert("Negative");
I would Poly fill the classList functionality and use the new syntax. This way newer browser will use the new implementation (which is much faster) and only old browsers will take the performance hit from the code.

in which element is currently the class '.bar' ? Here is another solution but it's up to you.
var reg = /Image/g, // regexp for an image element
query = document.querySelector('.bar'); // returns [object HTMLImageElement]
query += this.toString(); // turns object into a string
if (query.match(reg)) { // checks if it matches
alert('the class .bar is attached to the following Element:\n' + query);
}
jsfiddle demo
Of course this is only a lookup for 1 simple element <img>
(/Image/g
) but you can put all in an array like <li>
is /LI/g
, <ul>
= /UL/g
etc.
Using the classList is also ideal
HTML
<div id="box" class="myClass"></div>
JavaScript
const element = document.querySelector("#box");
element.classList.contains("myClass");
