As mentioned, IE's support for setAttribute is lacking. Set the
.className property instead.

There is no such thing as a "CSS class". Classes are part of HTML. CSS
has "class selectors" which (along with the other selectors in CSS)
control what elements a declaration-block applies to.

Making an HTML element a member of a class will cause styles in any
declaration-block associated with a selector that matches that class
to be applied on the fly though.
