Is it possible in JavaScript to listen for a change of attribute value? For example:
var element=document.querySelector('…');
element.addEventListener( ? ,doit,false);
element.setAttriubte('something','whatever');
function doit() {
}
I would like to respond to any change in the something
attribute.
I have read up on the MutationObserver
object, as well as alternatives to that (including the one which uses animation events). As far as I can tell, they are about changes to the actual DOM. I’m more interested in attribute changes to a particular DOM element, so I don’t think that’s it. Certainly in my experimenting it doesn’t seem to work.
I would like to do this without jQuery.
Thanks
