You remove classes using the .removeClass([className]) method. For example, to remove the active class from the <span> elements, you call the following:

$("span").removeClass("active");

You can also use remove with no className, which removes all classes from the elements. For example, the following statement removes all classes from <p> elements:

$("p").removeClass();
