How to Add a Class to an ID Using jQuery

Sometimes, coding can be a bit tricky, especially when things don’t work out the way you expect. One common problem can arise when you attempt to add a class to an HTML element using jQuery. This guide will guide you through the steps to successfully add a class to an ID using jQuery, ensuring your desired style is applied correctly.

Understanding the Problem

You may encounter a situation where you want to apply two classes to an ID when an input is clicked—let’s say when a button is clicked. The challenge often lies in the syntax you've used when targeting the ID. A user shared their experience where only the first class was being applied, leaving them puzzled as to why their second class was ignored.

Analyzing the Code Snippet

By following this guideline, you can avoid common pitfalls and have a smoother experience while coding with jQuery. Happy coding!
