get the classname of an element

[BennySHS]

Hi there !

I'm just experementing with my first js-navi and got a little problem.
I'm using the following code to set the class:

document.getElementById(id).className="showmenu";

But how can I find out which class the element currently has ?
Hope you can help me out,
thx a lot,
greets,
ben

That's the other way around. className is read/write.
[tt] var itsclassname=document.getElementById(itsid).className[/tt]

alert(document.getElementById(id).className);

Hope this helps,
Dan
