Not clear. Show the sample of code you have and point out the issue in the same.

<html>
<head>

</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function readClassName() {
var elem = document.getElementById('div1');
var elem1 = document.getElementById('div2');

alert(elem.className +" " +elem1.className); // Gets the class name

}
</script>

</head>
<body>
<p id="myp" class="pstyle1">Element content ...</p>
<div id="div1" class="div1cls"></div>
<div id="div2" class="div2cls"></div>
<button >Get and Set Class Name</button>
</body>
</html>
