Question

I want to change a class onclick. What I have at the moment:

<script>
function changeclass() {

var NAME = document.getElementById("myclass")

NAME.className="mynewclass"

} 
</script>

But, ofcourse, its not working. Also, it should revert to previuos state onclick again.

My html:

<div id="showhide" class="meta-info" onclick="changeclass();">

So, whenever I press on #showhide myclass should change to mynewclass. Thanks for help in advance!

With jquery you could do to sth. like this, which will simply switch classes.

$('.showhide').click(function() {
    $(this).removeClass('myclass');
    $(this).addClass('showhidenew');
});

If you want to switch classes back and forth on each click, you can use toggleClass, like so:

$('.showhide').click(function() {
    $(this).toggleClass('myclass');
    $(this).toggleClass('showhidenew');
});
