Quick Question on the Class tags

Hey guys, quick question.. Soo I understand the concept of the video but I don't understand how she gets the class ('.close') without it being written on the html. Am I missing something?

At 1:36 I can see the '.close' class on line 21, above her use of the tag in the JavaScript file. You can add HTML in .js files, and that is how she was able to use it.
