Firing events on CSS class changes in jQuery
css, jquery, jquery-events
Solution
Whenever you change a class in your script, you could use a `trigger` to raise your own event.
$(this).addClass('someClass');
$(mySelector).trigger('cssClassChanged')
....
$(otherSelector).bind('cssClassChanged', data, function(){ do stuff });
but otherwise, no, there's no baked-in way to fire an event when a class changes. `change()` only fires after focus leaves an input whose input has been altered.
$(function() {
var button = $('.clickme')
, box = $('.box')
;
button.on('click', function() {
box.removeClass('box');
$(document).trigger('buttonClick');
});
$(document).on('buttonClick', function() {
box.text('Clicked!');
});
});
.box { background-color: red; }
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="box">Hi</div>
<button class="clickme">Click me</button>

Problem
How can I fire an event if a CSS class is added or changed using jQuery? Does changing of a CSS class fire the jQuery `change()` event?
