title: Add Classes with D3
challengeType: 6

## Description
< section id = 'description' >
Using a lot of inline styles on HTML elements gets hard to manage, even for smaller apps. It's easier to add a class to elements and style that class one time using CSS rules. D3 has the < code > attr()< / code > method to add any HTML attribute to an element, including a class name.
The < code > attr()< / code > method works the same way that < code > style()< / code > does. It takes comma-separated values, and can use a callback function. Here's an example to add a class of "container" to a selection:
< code > selection.attr("class", "container");< / code >

Note that the "class" parameter will remain the same whenever you need to add a class and only the "container" parameter will change.
