The addClass() or removeClass() methods are used to add the CSS classes when there is a need to add to our webpage when there is some event listener or to create some kind of effect.

In this article, let us see how can we add a CSS class or remove a CSS class in jQuery.

Syntax:

  • Adding a class:
    $('selector').addClass(class_name);
  • Removing a class:
    $('selector').removeClass(class_name);

Example: The following example adds a class that makes the background colour black when clicked on ADD CLASS button and also removes that added class when clicked on the REMOVE CLASS button.
