Hi, I'm trying to do this exact same thing, only in my case there ARE
multiple classes assigned to the clicked element and I'd like to
retrieve all of them. Is there an easy or recommended/standard jQuery
way to do this? Is there a jQuery accessor that returns an array or
collection of all the classes that a given element has assigned to it?
