Remove CSS class from element with JavaScript (no jQuery) [duplicate]

The right and standard way to do it is using classList. It is now widely supported in the latest version of most modern browsers:

ELEMENT.classList.remove("CLASS_NAME");

remove.onclick = () => {
  const el = document.querySelector('#el');
  if (el.classList.contains("red")) {
    el.classList.remove("red");

  }
}
.red {
  background: red
}
<div id='el' class="red"> Test</div>
<button id='remove'>Remove Class</button>
