Make all of the requested element this class name

Question

$("td").className='';

Trying to do something like this where it makes all the <TD> elements the requested css class. I don't even know if thats the proper way to do it.

The [docs](http://api.jquery.com/addClass/) is your friend. – Derek 朕會功夫 Jun 30 '12 at 00:12 — Derek 朕會功夫, Jun 30 '12 at 00:12

You want to use addClass():

$('td').addClass('yourClassName');

Thank you very much, not used to using $() for elements and such. I'll mark this as accepted when it lets me. – Jake Jun 30 '12 at 00:08

Or you can use attr().

$('td').attr('class', 'className');

This solution is what OP specified, though probably not what he wants. – Christian Mann Jun 30 '12 at 00:18
