I use the latest stable version of Google Chrome (19.0.1084.56 m) on Windows 7 and am experimenting with Mutation observers for the first time. (The project is a script user for a third-party site on whose server I do not have access.)
It so happened that MutationRecord
has an oldValue
field:
record . oldValue
The return value depends on type
. For attributes
, this is the value of the changed attribute before the change. For " characterData
", the data of the changed node is before the change. For " childList
" it is null.
So, I'm tracking changes to characterData
, but when I get a MutationRecord
, the oldValue
field oldValue
always null.
Should it work, is there a chance that something is wrong with me, or is this function too short to wait for more work?
Somewhere I can find Google documentation, bug report, feature request, etc. that can declare whether this is implemented or when it can be?
