this.className from element with multiple classes

How do you get the classname from an element with multiple classes?

If you mean like in the following situation

<div id="mydiv" class="class1 class2 class3"></div>
	<script>
		alert(document.getElementById('mydiv').className);
	</script>

I see it alerts "class1 class2 class3"

Either you can split that using split() or you could use a js framework which returns the class names as an arrray. I know jquery and mootools does this.
