I'm trying to trigger something if an element changes to fix the fixed width and height of that element.

For that I found DOMSubtreeModified.

Now I'm trying to bind it: $(document).on("DOMSubtreeModified", "#content", resizer);

That works with Chrome or Firefox. But in IE11 it triggers the whole time. Is there another way to bind the DOMSubtreeModified event to an "later existing" element?

What kind of change are you trying to monitor? – Scott Marcus Mar 13 '18 at 15:12
anything that changes the width or height – Mr.Tr33 Mar 13 '18 at 15:13
Not sure why `DOMSubtreeModified` would be helpful since a change in size isn't necessarily a change to the DOM tree. – Scott Marcus Mar 13 '18 at 15:15
Also, [Mutation events](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MutationEvent) are deprecated. – Teemu Mar 13 '18 at 15:17
I have fixed width and height. If something changes in the subtree, probably the width or the height changes too. – Mr.Tr33 Mar 13 '18 at 15:17
If the size is fixed, changes to the DOM Tree won't change the size of your element, only its position. – Scott Marcus Mar 13 '18 at 15:18
That's right, because that I need to check if the subtree changes to fix the width and height – Mr.Tr33 Mar 13 '18 at 15:18
Any chance using [Responsive Web Design](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2011/01/guidelines-for-responsive-web-design/) is the better way to go here? – Scott Marcus Mar 13 '18 at 15:20
Sadly no, I have shit code which I'm trying to repair. – Mr.Tr33 Mar 13 '18 at 15:21
Well, check out the library described in the link. – Scott Marcus Mar 13 '18 at 15:22
I'm just trying to find a simple way to trigger something when the subtree changes. I don't want to add a new library to the project – Mr.Tr33 Mar 13 '18 at 15:25
I am having the same issue now. Did you find any solution for this – Shelly Jan 21 '19 at 13:27
