is there an alternative to DOMAttrModified that will work in webkit

I need to leverage this DOM event. IE has onpropertychange, which does what I need it to do also. Webkit doesn't seem to support this event, however. Is there an alternative I could use?

If you are happy with merely detecting calls to setAttribute() (as opposed to monitoring all attribute modifications) then you could over-ride that method on all elements with: 

Element.prototype._setAttribute = Element.prototype.setAttribute
Element.prototype.setAttribute = function(name, val) { 
 var e = document.createEvent("MutationEvents"); 
 var prev = this.getAttribute(name); 
 this._setAttribute(name, val);
 e.initMutationEvent("DOMAttrModified", true, true, null, prev, val, name, 2);
 this.dispatchEvent(e);
}
