I want to keep checking for new li elements so that whenever there will be these new elements ,I would be getting new alerts?
JS:
$(function () {
if ($('#div').find('<li></li>')) {
alert('you just got new <li> elements');
}
// it is just an examplory function which
// will keep looking for only new <li> elements created by ol list
})();

Please help.
A function like this should help you
document.addEventListener("DOMNodeInserted", function(event){
var element = event.target;
if (element.tagName == 'li') {
alert("li added");
}
});
Check Mutation events

<div id="container" style="background-color:#e0d0a0; width:300px; height:100px;"></div>

}
var container = document.getElementById("container");
container.appendChild(newLi);
