# How to get access to “CssClass” property for server element isn't WebControl in ASP.NET?

I have ordinary div like this:

<div id="myCoolElement" runat="[server](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/43769/what-is-serverless-architecture-is-it-worth-switching-over)"></div>

I want use the [construction](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/167589/the-reasons-why-we-love-construction-jobs-salary) to set CssClass for myCoolElement like this:

myCoolElement.CssClass("mycoolstyle");

But CssClass [property](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/205/property-notification-in-c-sharp) is supported only for WebControls.

How I can set CssClass for my element without creating WebControl?

Try this.

myCoolElement.Attributes.Add("class", "mycoolstyle");

You can do like this

myCoolElement.Attributes["class"] = "mycoolstyle";
