You can use something like this:

var classB = $('#element_id').attr('class').split(' ')[1];

I don't know what you mean by "access". You can check to see if an element has a class:

if ($(elem).hasClass("b")) { ... }

or

if ($(elem).is(".b")) { ... }

You can look for your element by that class with a simple selector:

var with_class_b = $('.b');

It's generally a good idea to not mess with the "className" property (not attribute) yourself if you're using jQuery. You can, of course, but there's really no point.
