Listen to changes within a DIV and act accordingly
jquery
Solution
You can opt to create your own custom events so you'll still have a clear separation of logic.
Bind to a custom event:
$('#laneconfigdisplay').bind('contentchanged', function() {
// do something after the div content has changed
alert('woo');
});
In your function that updates the div:
// all logic for grabbing xml and updating the div here ..
// and then send a message/event that we have updated the div
$('#laneconfigdisplay').trigger('contentchanged'); // this will call the function above
Problem
I have a function that grabs an XML document and transforms it according to an XSL document. It then places the result into a div with the id `laneconfigdisplay`. What I want to do is, separate to the transformation logic, setup a jQuery change event for that div so I can tell when it has changed, and run some jQuery code. I have tried the following, but it does not work! ``` $(document).ready(function() { $('#laneconfigdisplay').change(function() { alert('woo'); }); //Do XML / XSL transformation here }); <!-- HTML code here --> <div id="laneconfigdisplay"></div> ``` What am I doing wrong?
