Sure, here is how to remove a child class from an active div:
## Using JavaScript
The following JavaScript code will remove the `active` class from the `div` element with the id `myDiv`:
JavaScript
```plaintext
function removeActiveClass(div) {
div.classList.remove("active");
}
// Call the function
removeActiveClass(document.getElementById("myDiv"));
```
This code will first get the `div` element with the id `myDiv`. Then, it will call the `classList.remove()` method to remove the `active` class from the `div` element.
Here is an example of how to use this code:
HTML
```plaintext
This is an active div.
```
This code will create a `div` element with the id `myDiv`. The `div` element will have the `active` class. When the user clicks on the `div` element, the `active` class will be removed from the `div` element.
