jQuery - Trigger event when an element is removed from the DOM

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how to execute some js code when an element is removed from the page:

jQuery(\'#some-element\').remove(); // remove some element fr         


        

Answer 1

For those who use jQuery UI:

jQuery UI has overridden some of the jQuery methods to implement a remove event that gets handled not only when you explicitly remove the given element, but also if the element gets removed from the DOM by any self-cleaning jQuery methods (e.g. replace, html, etc.). This basically allows you to put a hook into the same events that get fired when jQuery is "cleaning up" the events and data associated with a DOM element.

John Resig has indicated that he's open to the idea of implementing this event in a future version of jQuery core, but I'm not sure where it stands currently.
