MutationEvent Module
The W3C MutationEvent module has the following event types:
DOMSubtreeModified
This is a general event for notification of all changes to the document. It can be used instead of the more specific events listed below. It may be fired after a single modification to the document or, at the implementation's discretion, after multiple changes have occurred. The latter use should generally be used to accommodate multiple changes which occur either simultaneously or in rapid succession. The target of this event is the lowest common parent of the changes which have taken place. This event is dispatched after any other events caused by the mutation have fired.
◦ Bubbles: Yes
◦ Cancelable: No
◦ Context Info: None
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.
◦ Bubbles: Yes
◦ Cancelable: No
◦ Context Info: relatedNode holds the parent node
DOMNodeRemoved
Fired when a node is being removed from its parent node. This event is dispatched before the node is removed from the tree. The target of this event is the node being removed.
◦ Bubbles: Yes
◦ Cancelable: No
◦ Context Info: relatedNode holds the parent node
DOMNodeRemovedFromDocument
Fired when a node is being removed from a document, either through direct removal of the Node or removal of a subtree in which it is contained. This event is dispatched before the removal takes place. The target of this event is the Node being removed. If the Node is being directly removed the DOMNodeRemoved event will fire before the DOMNodeRemovedFromDocument event.
◦ Bubbles: No
◦ Cancelable: No
◦ Context Info: None
DOMNodeInsertedIntoDocument
Fired when a node is being inserted into a document, either through direct insertion of the Node or insertion of a subtree in which it is contained. This event is dispatched after the insertion has taken place. The target of this event is the node being inserted. If the Node is being directly inserted the DOMNodeInserted event will fire before the DOMNodeInsertedIntoDocument event.
◦ Bubbles: No
◦ Cancelable: No
◦ Context Info: None
DOMAttrModified
Fired after an Attr has been modified on a node. The target of this event is the Node whose Attr changed. The value of attrChange indicates whether the Attr was modified, added, or removed. The value of relatedNode indicates the Attr node whose value has been affected. It is expected that string based replacement of an Attr value will be viewed as a modification of the Attr since its identity does not change. Subsequently replacement of the Attr node with a different Attr node is viewed as the removal of the first Attr node and the addition of the second.
◦ Bubbles: Yes
◦ Cancelable: No
◦ Context Info: attrName, attrChange, prevValue, newValue, relatedNode
DOMCharacterDataModified
Fired after CharacterData within a node has been modified but the node itself has not been inserted or deleted. This event is also triggered by modifications to PI elements. The target of this event is the CharacterData node.
◦ Bubbles: Yes
◦ Cancelable: No
◦ Context Info: prevValue, newValue
