HTML Classes

🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)

The HTML class attribute assigns one or more class names to elements so CSS and JavaScript can select and act on a whole group of elements at once. [S1]

🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)

  • Purpose — the class attribute is often used to point to a class name in a style sheet; it can also be used by JavaScript to access and manipulate elements with the specific class name. [S1]
  • CSS selector — in a stylesheet a class is referenced with a period (e.g. .city). [S1]
  • Shared by many elements — multiple HTML elements can share the same class. [S1]
  • Multiple classes per element — separate class names with a space (e.g. class="city main"); the element is styled according to all classes specified. [S1]
  • Works across element types — different HTML elements can point to the same class name. [S1]
  • JavaScript accessgetElementsByClassName() returns all elements with a given class name. [S1]
  • Usable anywhere — the class attribute can be used on any HTML element, and the class name is case sensitive. [S1]

🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns)

  • Shared-style pattern — give several elements the same class so one CSS rule styles them all. [S1]
  • Multi-class pattern — combine general and specific classes on one element (class="city main"). [S1]
  • Inline-styling pattern — apply a class to a <span> to style a fragment of text. [S1]
  • JS-grouping pattern — collect and manipulate all elements of a class with getElementsByClassName(). [S1]

📖 세부 내용 (Details)

The class Attribute. The class attribute is often used to point to a class name in a style sheet. It can also be used by JavaScript to access and manipulate elements with the specific class name. [S1]

Basic class with CSS styling — three headings share the city class: [S1]

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.city {
  background-color: tomato;
  color: white;
  padding: 10px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<h2 class="city">London</h2>
<p>London is the capital of England.</p>

<h2 class="city">Paris</h2>
<p>Paris is the capital of France.</p>

<h2 class="city">Tokyo</h2>
<p>Tokyo is the capital of Japan.</p>

</body>
</html>

Using the class attribute on <div> elements. [S1]

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.city {
  background-color: tomato;
  color: white;
  border: 2px solid black;
  margin: 20px;
  padding: 20px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<div class="city">
  <h2>London</h2>
  <p>London is the capital of England.</p>
</div>

<div class="city">
  <h2>Paris</h2>
  <p>Paris is the capital of France.</p>
</div>

<div class="city">
  <h2>Tokyo</h2>
  <p>Tokyo is the capital of Japan.</p>
</div>

</body>
</html>

The class attribute on inline (<span>) elements. [S1]

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.note {
  font-size: 120%;
  color: red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<h1>My <span class="note">Important</span> Heading</h1>
<p>This is some <span class="note">important</span> text.</p>

</body>
</html>

Multiple Classes. HTML elements can belong to more than one class. To define multiple classes, separate the class names with a space, e.g. <div class="city main">. The element will be styled according to all the classes specified. [S1]

<h2 class="city main">London</h2>
<h2 class="city">Paris</h2>
<h2 class="city">Tokyo</h2>

Different Elements Can Share Same Class. Different HTML elements can point to the same class name. [S1]

<h2 class="city">Paris</h2>
<p class="city">Paris is the capital of France</p>

Using the class Attribute in JavaScript. JavaScript can access elements with a specific class name by using the getElementsByClassName() method. [S1]

<script>
function myFunction() {
  var x = document.getElementsByClassName("city");
  for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
    x[i].style.display = "none";
  }
}
</script>

Tip: The class attribute can be used on any HTML element. [S1] Note: The class name is case sensitive! [S1]
