When an element already has a class name defined  its influence on the element is tied to its position in the string of class names   Later classes override earlier ones  if there is a conflict   Adding a class to an element ought to move the class name to the sharp end of the list  if it exists already   document addClass  function el  css       var tem  C  el className split   s     A             while C length           tem  C shift            if tem  amp  amp  tem   css  A A length   tem            A A length   css      return el className  A join

var element   document getElementById element id   element className          newClassName    Voil    This will work on pretty much every browser ever  The leading space is important  because the className property treats the css classes like a single string  which ought to match the class attribute on HTML elements  where multiple classes must be separated by spaces     Incidentally  you re going to be better off using a Javascript library like prototype or jQuery  which have methods to do this  as well as functions that can first check if an element already has a class assigned   In prototype  for instance      Prototype automatically checks that the element doesn t already have the class   element id  addClassName newClassName     See how much nicer that is
