CSSOM-and-MutationObserver-example

A simple way/tutorial of accessing CSSOM to read/modify the stylesheet and use MutationObserver to detect changes in the DOM. It was hard to find information about this. I mean, most of the examples were incomplete or applied only to the inline attributes.

What this does: changes the textbox background color every time a new child is added to a div.
