title: Add Classes with D3
challengeType: 6
---
## 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 attr() method to add any HTML attribute to an element, including a class name.
The attr() method works the same way that style() 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:
selection.attr("class", "container");
Note that the "class" parameter will remain the same whenever you need to add a class and only the "container" parameter will change.
## Instructions
Add the attr() method to the code in the editor and put a class of bar on the div elements.
## Tests
```yml
tests:
- text: Your div elements should have a class of bar.
testString: assert($('div').attr('class') == "bar", 'Your div elements should have a class of bar.');
- text: Your code should use the attr() method.
testString: assert(code.match(/\.attr/g), 'Your code should use the attr() method.');
```
