Question

I have the following div element

<div id="row_1" class="active_page workorders_edit"></div>

And I want to be able to retrieve the class name workorders_edit. In my real case I only have access to the active_page class name

Please check my Fiddle for a better explanation. The end result should populate the id=”classname” with only “workorders_edit” and not “active_page workorders_edit”

Thank you.

var classname = $('.active_page').attr('class').split(' ')[1];

Note: only works when active_page class is first in the class attribute, and workorders_edit is the next class in the class attribute… any variation of this will break
