How to target body in javascript DOM event

Solution 1

You can use document.body to get to it. To remove the class, you can use:

document.body.className = '';

This will change the contents of the class attribute to be the empty string, so it will remove all the classes the element might have.

Solution 2

To remove class from 'body' tag use this:

document.body.removeAttribute('class');

    I would like to modify a style which looks like:

    <body class="theme1">
    

    I would like to target this body's class and make that to just <body>. The problem is that, even though I would normally find elements using document.getElementById('someId') or by tagName in this case, I don't know how to find the target.
