# removeClass doesn't work, addClass does

 * Hey everyone,
 * I have a problem with jQuery. All the code I type correctly works, except when
   I call for a “removeClass”.
 * So far, I have made a tablestructure. On click, the complete first table needs
   to have an opacity of 0.5. To ensure this, I added a class called “opacity” to
   the table. In CSS, I wrote that the class has an opacity of 0.5. This works fine:
   the complete table gets the correct opacity on click.
 * However, the item that was clicked in the table shouldn’t have that opacity. 
   I tried to remove the class from the specific item, but it doesn’t seem to work.
   It only works when I try to do this for the complete table.
 * I hope someone can help me out, here’s the code:
 *     ```
       jQuery('.home_tableClick').click(function(){
       		jQuery('.home_tableEerste').addClass('opacity');
       		jQuery(this).removeClass('.home_tableEerste');
       		jQuery('#home_tableFun').load('wp-content/themes/ctaconsulting/tables.php?category='+jQuery(this).attr('id'));
       		jQuery('.initialHidden').hide();
       		jQuery('.home_tableTweede').show();
       });
       ```

       jQuery(this).removeClass('.home_tableEerste');
       ```
   
 * Try this…
 *     ```
       jQuery(this).removeClass('home_tableEerste');
       ```

 * Thanks! It doesn’t seem to work, though.
 * Also, this code:
    `jQuery(this).removeClass('home_tableEerste');` is supposed
   to be: `jQuery(this).removeClass('opacity');`
 * That’s how I intended it at least. I guess I changed it to “home_tableEerste”
   because I was trying to the problem.
 * Still doesn’t work with the opacityclass and without the dot though.

 * If you’re having a JS issue then you need to show us the Webpage with the problem

 * I’m running the website on localhost, so I can’t do that unless I add a screenshot
   or such.

 * I decided to try to just add CSS to the table itself, which works. Still, I don’t
   know how to add CSS to the tableitem that I clicked, and give that item an opacity
   of 1.0.
