Can an element have two class attributes?

[John Fitzgibbon]

Hi,

I am writing to enquire if an element can have two class attributes. I'm
using JavaScript to hide or display an element based on two
contingencies. Is the following allowed?

<div class="reason1" class="reason2">Text to be hidden or
displayed</div>

Or should I use the next approach?

<div " class="reason2"><div class="reason1>Text to be hidden or
displayed</div></div>


I know an element is allowed only one id attribute but do not know what
the position is with regards to class. I have never seen an element with
two class attributes.

Any ideas would be most welcome.
