Add class and remove class using javascript for entire table

Add class and remove class using javascript for entire table, someone asked me to explain?
By:

In this example I will show you how to add class and remove class using javascript. It can be achieved by using ClassName property. We can get all elements in the document with the specified tag name. 

Here I passed TR tag to the method getElementByTagName () and it will returns collection of all elements with specified tag element as object. With the help of object length by looping we can identify the class name and replace it. 

Example:

<html>
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $("#btnChange").click(function () {
                var tr = document.getElementsByTagName("tr");
                for (var i = 0; i < tr.length; i++) {
                    if (tr[i].className === 'highlight') {
                        tr[i].className = 'normal';
                    }
                }
            });
        });
    </script>
    <style type="text/css">
        td {
            border-bottom:1px solid #808080;
        }
        .highlight {
            background-color: #2a78ac; 
            color:white;
        }
        .normal {
            background-color: #FFFCC9; 
        }
 
    </style>
</head>
<body style="font-family: Arial; width: 500px;border:1px solid #e5dddd">
    <table>
        <tr class="highlight">
            <td>Tiger Nixon</td>
            <td>System Architect</td>
            <td>Edinburgh</td>
            <td>61</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Garrett Winters</td>
            <td>Accountant</td>
            <td>Tokyo</td>
            <td>63</td>
        </tr>
        <tr class="highlight">
            <td>Ashton Cox</td>
            <td>Junior Technical Author</td>
            <td>San Francisco</td>
               <td>42</td>
        </tr>
        <tr >
            <td>Cedric Kelly</td>
            <td>Senior Javascript Developer</td>
            <td>Edinburgh</td>
            <td>22</td>
        </tr>
    </table>
    <button id="btnChange" >change</button>
</body>
</html> 

Output:

Add class and remove class using javascript for entire table

But in jQuery it is very easy with single line of code. It reduces the large amount of code. 

 

$("tr.highlight").removeClass("highlight").addClass("normal");
