How to run function on div value change?

[dlebowski]

Hi.  I have a div that changes it's value using AJAX.  For example, <div id=name> .  Is it possible for me to run a javascript function every time that value changes?  So if the value of id=name is "3" and ajax changes it to "4", the value displayed in the browser has changed, but I also want it to run a function().  Is this possible?  Thank you in advance.

I'm not sure you can attach change events to a div element but you could give it a shot. It would be simple using jQuery.

 

$('#name').change(function() {
  executefunction();
});

If you're not using jquery I don't think there is a way around it other than storing the old value and running a check with setInterval every x (or 0.x) seconds. (which is probably what jquery does as well if it it support it on anything beyond fileUpload, select, text (input type="text") and textareas.
