jQuery comes with addClass() and removeClass() to add or remove CSS class dynamically. For example,

  1. $(‘#para1’).addClass(‘highlight’); – Add a “highlight’ css class to elements that contain id of “para1”.
  2. $(‘#para1’).removeClass(‘highlight’); – Remove a “highlight’ css class from elements that contain id of “para1”.

Example

<html> <head> <style type="text/css"> .highlight { background:green; } </style> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script> </head> <body> <h1>jQuery add / remove css class example</h1> <p id="para1">This is paragraph 1</p> <p>This is paragraph 2</p> <p>This is paragraph 3</p> <p>This is paragraph 4</p> <button id="addClass">Add highlight</button> <button id="removeClass">Remove highlight</button> <script type="text/javascript"> $("#addClass").click(function () { $('#para1').addClass('highlight'); }); $("#removeClass").click(function () { $('#para1').removeClass('highlight'); }); </script> </body> </html> Try Demo

jQuery has a class toggle function that makes this easier 🙂

if(data.length >0) { $(‘#suggestions’).show(); $(‘#autoSuggestionsList’).html(data); } In above code in #autoSuggestionsList’ we have list of names in the list view. But I am unable to choose one value from the list i.e #autoSuggestionsList’. Kindly provide me the jquery code for choose one value and added this on the username testbox field.

Thanks, Sunil.
