Can javascript listen for “onDomChange” on every Dom elements?

Question

My question is somewhat weird, but can i add events for any DOM elements(div), like \'onHtmlChange\', to be notified when that div has changed their content?

Answer 1

The DOMNodeInserted and DOMNodeRemoved are part of the Mutation Events which is now deprecated. Hence, you need to take a look on Mutation Observer. I did the same in one of my project which is I needed to listen to the DOM changes of a certain element., e.g. DOM append, remove, attribute, and data changes.
