9.7. Getting Notified When jQuery Methods Are Called

9.7.1. Problem

You want to perform a certain action when a DOM element gets modified using jQuery. This could involve changing an attribute such as a CSS property, removing it from the document, etc.

Some browsers already support mutation events,^[21] which would serve this need, but they’re not something you can use in a cross-browser fashion yet, and they aren’t integrated with jQuery.
