Is there any way to fire an event when an object of a certain type is created?

I have an <div> element with editableContent="true" and when the user presses enter within the <div>, a new <div> is created that takes up just that line. Is it possible to have an event fire whenever a <div> object is created within my original <div> object?

I know one way to do this would to listen for keystrokes and on an ‘enter’ key being pressed, do a bunch of logic to figure out what to do, but this seems a lot less elegant – so it would be great if there was another way.

    There are the a bunch of DOM Events and some of them will be supported by firefox for example. But I dont think that IE will support only one of them. Here is a complete list.
    First you can fire a custom event every time you create a new div, or you have a settimeout that checks every second if the count of you divs childnodes has changed.
