Well, other than asking whether or not an object "has a class or
doesn't", there isn't much you can do that check each class name
so like (and this assumes your original HTML, not the separated class
name) :
var icons = ["Star", "Plus", "Left", "Right", "Up", "Down"];
$("div.button").each(function() {
var $dv = $(this);
$.each(icons, function() {
if ($dv.hasClass("icon" + this)) {
$dv.append('<img src="Images/' + this + '.gif"
alt="" />');
return false;
}
});
});
