Adding a class to a child of a button

I'm trying to work out how to add a class to a child element of a button, specifically to the <i> below:

<button><i class="icon-undo"></i> Undo</button>

Ideally, using plain JavaScript, there'd be a function which can be added to the button (i.e. <button onclick="function()">) which would add the class "icon-spin" to the child <i> of whatever element was clicked (so it could be used in multiple places in the same page).

Solution

  • Maybe the code in this question helps.... posted the answer today itself. Just pass 'this' to the function and you could do wonders to the DOM thereafter
