How to get specific class attribute

Question

<a class="ab ac ad">HOME</a>

I need the second class attribute, something like this:

$("a").click(function(){
var a = $(this).attr("class").eq(1);
alert (a);
});

Any idea ?

For most use cases you should use `$(selector).hasClass(className)` instead. — jantimon, Jun 16 '14 at 08:46

You get a string, so you can just split it:

var a = $(this).attr("class").split(' ')[1];

Why the downvote? If you don't explain what it is that you think is wrong, it can't improve the answer. – Guffa Jun 16 '14 at 08:52

You can split by space using:

echo $(this).attr("class").split(' ')[1];
