Question

In my app, I have an OL tag whose contents are changed by various other dynamic events. Is there some way to put a listener on that OL so that I can execute a function whenever its contents are altered in any way? In this example I need to update a count of items in the list which appears in another spot in the interface.

I am using jQuery if that helps.

The contents of the OL are being changed with OL.append() and LI.remove(), in case those methods have some special events that I don’t know about

In reference to J-P’s statement, if you want it event driven you could use custom events..

$('#myDiv').bind('contentChange', function() {
   // do stuff
});

When you change the innerHTML of #myDiv:

$('#myDiv').html('new Html').trigger('contentChange');

but, er, not sure why ya’d want to..
