Thanks SO much Liam.
This works but I was looking for triggerClass to flow from the classes
found in BODY (rather than being a static class defined in jQuery).
So if BODY had classes: classOne classTwo classThee and an H3 on my
page had a class of classTwo, then the script would spot the match and
add class foundMatch to my H3.
Sorry I didn't explain that more clearly.
If you can help more, thanks again in advance and either way, thanks
for your quick and helpful reply.
Cheers, -Alan
