What I want to do is have a “live” function that monitors the existance of a classname, and if any event causes that classname to be added anywhere in the DOM, another function will be fired.
How do I write a function that does that?

This kind of functionality does not exist in jQuery and will not be added because the methods required to implement it are depreciated by browsers.

However, on that same post, there’s mention of a plugin that does this.
