javascript - jQuery - get the first class only from a element

Question

The element looks like this:

<li class="blah active"> ... </li>

jQuery.attr('class') will return both classes. How can I get only the 1st class ('blah' in this case) with jQuery?

Answer 1

You need to split that into an array:

console.log(jQuery('selector').attr('class').split(' ')[0]);
