Status: VERIFIED INVALID

From Bugzilla Helper:

object.setAtribute("className", "myClass");
does not work. 

Setting the attribute "class" work, but according to the W3:
"className of type DOMString 
The class attribute of the element. This attribute has been renamed due to
conflicts with the "class" keyword exposed by many languages. See the class
attribute definition in HTML 4.0."

So then you should be able to set the attribute className.

className is how the class name is exposed via the DOM as in
HTMLElement.className.  Setting the Attribute 'class' via
HTMLElement.setAttribute('class', 'value') and HTMLElement.className = 'value'
are equivalent. -> INVALID
