any chance to get notification on changing innerHTML

[nick]

Hi All.

I have a document loaded into browser. Later, I am loading some HTML
content (using hidden frame) and replace some part of my document with
new content, using innerHTML property.
The question is - how can I get notified when my document is changed ?

Regards,

Nick

I definitively recommend you use DOM node creating-insertion-updating
methods instead of innerHTML.

You can register a DOM mutation event on a node that you know will be
modified. Right now, the DOMNodeInsertedIntoDocument event is not
reported by any browser I know... but DOMNodeInserted is detected and
reported accordingly in NS 7.x, Mozilla 1.4+ and Opera 7.20 beta 7. (no
support in MSIE 6 for WIndows)

"DOMNodeInserted
Fired when a node has been added as a child of another node. This
event is dispatched after the insertion has taken place. The target of
this event is the node being inserted."
