Is it possible to listen for changes to an object's attributes in JavaScript?

Question

I\'m working on a fiddly web interface which is mostly built with JavaScript. Its basically one (very) large form with many sections. Each section is built based on options

Thanks for the comments guys. I've gone with the following:

var EntriesRegistry = (function(){

    var instance = null;

    function __constructor() {

        var
            self = this,
            observations = {};

        this.set = function(n,v)
        {
            self[n] = v;

            if( observations[n] )
                for( var i=0; i < observations[n].length; i++ )
                    observations[n][i].apply(null, [v, n]);

        }

        this.get = function(n)
        {
            return self[n];
        }

        this.observe = function(n,f)
        {

            if(observations[n] == undefined)
                observations[n] = [];

            observations[n].push(f);
        }

    }

    return new function(){
        this.getInstance = function(){
            if (instance == null)
            {
                instance = new __constructor();
                instance.constructor = null;
            }
            return instance;
        }
    }
})();

var entries = EntriesRegistry.getInstance();

var test = function(v){ alert(v); };

entries.set('bob', 'meh');

entries.get('bob');

entries.observe('seth', test);

entries.set('seth', 'dave');

Taking on-board your comments, I'll be using event delegation on the form objects to update the registry and trigger the registered observing methods.

This is working well for me so far... can you guys see any problems with this?
