Having issues with task 2. Where can I find videos that cover setting a class?

I dont remember how to do this, and I cannot find anything have to do with class's in my notes.

Set the class of panel to the newParagraph.

app.js 
const contentDiv = document.getElementById("content");
let newParagraph = document.createElement('p');
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="content">

        </div>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

Hi there! This topic was briefly covered at both the beginning and end of this video although there weren't any examples given (that I can see) about setting the className property on the element.

What you are looking for is something like:

myElement.className = "whatever";

That would set the class to the "whatever" class :smiley:

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
