And *IF* you followed Felgall's suggestion for writing modern JavaScript, it is all a non-issue.

You could write the page thus:

Code:

<html>
<body>
   <div id="mainContent"> ... </div>

<script type="text/javascript">
(
    function( )
    {
         
	document.getElementById("mainContent").onclick = 
            function() 
            {
                this.className = ( this.className == "example") ? "" : "example";
            }
    } /* end of anonymous master function */

)( ); /* self-invoke master function */
</script>
</body>
</html>

Notice that I also rewrote the onclick to be much simpler/more efficient. It could have been written that way in tho original.
