title: Add Classes with D3
challengeType: 6
forumTopicId: 301473

## 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.

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Add the <code>attr()</code> method to the code in the editor and put a class of <code>bar</code> on the <code>div</code> elements.
</section>
## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
tests:
- text: Your <code>div</code> elements should have a class of <code>bar</code>.
testString: assert($('div').attr('class') == "bar");
- text: Your code should use the <code>attr()</code> method.
testString: assert(code.match(/\.attr/g));
```
