@Motty, unfortunately, the “DOMSubtreeModified” event is not supported in Opera, IE or FF2.

I’ve discovered a wonderful site to help me with my scripting questions and I think I found a nice solution for monitoring DOM properties that I wanted to share.

Basically it uses jQuery bind function as follows:

 $(element).bind("DOMSubtreeModified",function(){
  // check if the property you are watching has changed
  // Do something
 })

Using timers is an interesting solution.

I have implemented object.(un)?watch using accessors that works in every current browser; http://code.eligrey.com/object.watch/latest/object-watch.js
