How to target body in javascript DOM event

rated 0 times [ 60] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 17649 / 11 Years ago, wed, september 25, 2013, 12:00:00

I would like to modify a style which looks like:

<body class=theme1>

I would like to target this body's class and make that to just <body>. The problem is that, even though I would normally find elements using document.getElementById('someId') or by tagName in this case, I don't know how to find the target.

You can use document.body to get to it. To remove the class, you can use:

document.body.className = '';

This will change the contents of the class attribute to be the empty string, so it will remove all the classes the element might have.
