Evening all,

I'm trying to add a class to a div I have but it is not working for some reason.

$(.example div).addThisClass('example class');

Why isn't this working, it works every other time? Has jQuery changed?

Pls help.

  • it works every other time unless you created your own method with that name, I can guarantee you it didn't. Commented Jul 8, 2015 at 8:30

There is no method addThisClass in jQuery. Use addClass:

$('div.example').addClass('example class');

In Vanilla Javascript, you can use classList:

document.querySelector('div.example').classList.add('example class');

You have to use jQuery addClass() function.

$(".example div").addClass('example class');

It is not addThisClass, but addClass does it:

$('div.example').addClass('example class');

Has this always been the case? I'm sure it used to work.
@samjohnsonmw No, addThisClass was never part of jQuery

It's this instead of addThisClass

$('div.example').addClass('example class');
