This is not SVG related however it help to answer your question.
As the rule: You can't modified "CSS - class" on the fly.
(But you can do is append a New "class" then using it, (using javascript).
- Get the old, modifiy then delete then append the same one don't work). If
you need the snipnet on how to append CSS on the fly let me know.
Hope this help.
