DBJ,
Mutation events are supported in FF (as of v2, I believe), despite
what that table had said.
https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DOM_Client_Object_Cross-Reference/DOM_Events
And you can bind with the normal bind.
jQuery('.container').bind('DOMSubtreeModified',function(e){
console.log(this,arguments);
})
As these events aren't supported in IE, I'd consider the overhead to
retro-fit support to be too great.
Here's a good resource on this, essentially a jQuery plugin that
normalizes support:
http://tobiasz123.wordpress.com/2009/01/19/utilizing-mutation-events-for-automatic-and-persistent-event-attaching/
With some cleanup, I'd think that (being a plugin) is the right place
for Mutation event support to reside.
