How can I trigger a function when the text of a hidden input box changes by an external jquery?

Question

The user will not be directly changing the input box, so keyup/keypress is not useful. Since onchange is triggered when the input box loses focus, I cannot use change() or onchange() . The external jquery is modifying the input, so I cannot use trigger() . Is there any other method to do this without using setInterval ?

As far as i know, there's a DOM LEVEL EVENT that fires when anything changes, but it's not supported by all browsers, in fact, i think only Chrome and FireFox does.

Here's a link to a solution for this: Detect changes in the DOM

hope it helps.
