In the following example we retrieve the list of classes set on a <span> element as a DOMTokenList using Element.classList. We then remove a token from the list, and write the list into the <span>'s Node.textContent.

Now the JavaScript:

var span = document.querySelector("span");
var classes = span.classList;
classes.remove("c");
span.textContent = classes;
