[WEB4LIB] Can an element have two class attributes?

[Randy Norwood]

I don't think that's allowed within one element. Besides, how would that
work? How would the browser determine which class to apply in a particular
page request? You might need a Javascript event handler to capture the
triggering event and then perhaps some more JS to perform the desired
action. It really depends on what you're trying to do--what is the trigger
and what are the actions?
