To be picky about the subject; classes are defined in (X)HTML. CSS has
selectors which include a way to say "If the element has such and such
class".

news://comp.lang.javascript would be a better place to ask.

With the code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<title>Class & JS</title>
<h1>Class & JS</h1>
<div><input class="mandatory" name="fax" type="text" id="fax"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
el = document.getElementById('fax');
window.alert(el.name);
window.alert(el.className);
</script>
It works fine, and the class name is displayed. This really is a JS question
and has nothing to do with style sheets. You should try
comp.lang.javascript. It would also be a good idea to post a URI to the
complete webpage. Code fragments are all very well for narrowing down where
you think the problem lies, but when you're wrong its not very helpful.
