detecting dynamic changes

Hi,

I'd like to be able to detect changes that have been made to the DOM
dynamically using Javascript. My current method is to catch the
DOMNodeInserted and DOMNodeRemoved events when possible and otherwise
to simply compare the values of the innerHtml property of the body tag
of a page. In particular, it seems that the latter way of doing it is
the only way possible in IE.

Does anyone have advice on how to properly detect dynamic changes to
pages using Javascript?

Thanks!
Jeff

You can download the "firebug" plugin for Firefox @
http://www.getfirebug.com/, then use the HTML tab in the console. You'll
see dynamic changes highlight in yellow.

Is there a more convenient way than what I suggested using only
Javascript that would also work in IE?

Thanks!

Hello All, I am trying to clean up some polish bugs with the Shanghai game I am working on and I am currently stuck on trying to get the right event for detecting when the user has changed the desktop resolution. I have tried trapping the following events: 1) SDL_ACTIVEEVENT 2) SDL_VIDEOEXPOSE

Anyone knows a good algorithm for detecting difference between two pieces of text? I'm working on a content management system and would like to add the ability to highlight changes made between versions. I don't think diff is suitable here, since I want word level detection.

Hi, I'm implementing a new Business Layer in one of our applications.

Hi, I have an asp.net 1.1 application that populates data from a database. When the user changes data, they have to hit a button to update the data. The data entry form (same form that is populated) is from several different tables. To the user, of course, this is not seen. Scenario: After the page is populated, assume a change is made to the form and the user hits update. The page then goes back, reads the database for that record...

I'm putting together a rather dynamic page (AJAX/all-that-mess). So... to go between different sorts of content on the page, I have it set up something like this. <a href="#10" onclick="loadFragment()"> ... </a> <a href="#20" onclick="loadFragment()"> ... </a> where loadFragment is a function which does something based on the #20 which is now appended to the document's .location.

Hi all, I'd like to be able to detect when page content is dynamically changed by Javascript. I'd like to detect any changes to the content, such as the addition of new DOM elements and when DOM elements that are hidden are made visible (or vice versa).

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
