I have data-segment attribute in my body tag that is changed by a slider. I need to trigger a function based on the value of this, when it is changed.
I’m not sure how to attach an event listener in this case though?

`There is no reliable cross-browser way to receive an event when a DOM node attribute is changed. Some browsers support “DOM mutation events”, but you shouldn’t rely on them, and you may Google that phrase to learn about the ill-fated history of that technology.
If the slider control does not fire a custom event (I would think most modern ones do), then your best bet is to set up a
setInterval()method to poll the value.
