I'm using the latest Google Chrome stable (19.0.1084.56 m) on Windows 7 and experimenting with Mutation observers for the first time. (The project is a user script for a third party website, the server of which I have no access to.)
So it happens that MutationRecord
has a field oldValue
:
record . oldValue
The return value depends on
type
. For "attributes
", it is the value of the changed attribute before the change. For "characterData
", it is the data of the changed node before the change. For "childList
", it is null.
So I'm monitoring for changes to the characterData
but when I get the MutationRecord
the oldValue
field is always null.
Should it be working, is there a possibility I've got something wrong, or is this feature just too bleeding edge to expect to work yet?
Is there somewhere I can find Google's documentation, bug report, feature request, etc that might declare whether this is implemented or when it might be?
MutationObserver can react to changes in DOM – attributes, text content and adding/removing elements. We can use it to track changes introduced by other parts of our code, as well as to integrate with third-party scripts. MutationObserver can track any changes.
MutationObserver is a Web API provided by modern browsers for detecting changes in the DOM. With this API one can listen to newly added or removed nodes, attribute changes or changes in the text content of text nodes.
The MutationObserver interface provides the ability to watch for changes being made to the DOM tree. It is designed as a replacement for the older Mutation Events feature, which was part of the DOM3 Events specification.
Instead of using the provided React state array of elements, we'll use the MutationObserver API to detect added elements and update the label accordingly. Update the dynamic label to count the number of fruits in the list.
Configure your observer with:
observer.observe(container, {
attributeOldValue : true
});
