The "class" attribute of DOM objects has always been "className" when
accessed as a JavaScript object member. If at some point some JS
implementation had a synonym for it such that "['class']" worked, that
was an implementation-specific extension. (The attribute syntax
version "obj.class" can't work in a compliant implementation, since
"class" is a reserved word.)
However, getAttribute("class") should also work, and
getAttribute("className") would return the value of any actual
"className" attribute.

I'm not a specialist, but I think that neither ["class"] nor
getAttribute("class") has ever been legal. I thought that what was
legal has always been .className (or: ["className"]). I thought that
the reason for that is that "class" is a reserved word for JS.
