Can you avoid repetition in such cases?

Question

I try to avoid repetition in my code as much as possible. I know you can do this:

variable = variable+2

in that

variable += 2

but how can I avoid repetition here? Of course there is a way ...

this.className = this.className.replace("classname","")

+3

javascript syntax

Unfortunately the answer is no, there are no abbreviations for this type of statement.

If you can use JQuery you can call

$(this).removeClass('classname');
