How to add/remove a class in JavaScript?

A easy to understand way:

// Add class 
DOMElement.className += " one";
// Example:
// var el = document.body;
// el.className += " two"

// Remove class 
function removeDOMClass(element, className) {
    var oldClasses      = element.className,
        oldClassesArray = oldClasses.split(" "),
        newClassesArray = [],
        newClasses;

    // Sort
    var currentClassChecked,
        i;     
    for ( i = 0; i < oldClassesArray.length; i++ ) { 
        // Specified class will not be added in the new array
        currentClassChecked = oldClassesArray[i];
        if( currentClassChecked !== className ) { 
            newClassesArray.push(currentClassChecked);
        }
    }

    // Order 
    newClasses = newClassesArray.join(" ");

    // Apply     
    element.className = newClasses;

    return element;

}
// Example:
// var el = document.body;
// removeDOMClass(el, "two")
