Simple mutation observer example in JavaScript doesn't work

Question

I try to add a MutationObserver in my web page to track changes in an image src, but that doesn't work.

Here's the code used:

Answer 1

If you call disconnect method you will not receive notification anymore:

Quote from MDN

disconnect()

Stops the MutationObserver instance from receiving notifications of DOM mutations. Until the observe() method is used again, observer's callback will not be invoked.

setTimeout(function() {
  document.getElementById("img").src = "http://i.stack.imgur.com/aQsv7.jpg"
}, 2000);

setTimeout(function() {
      document.getElementById("img").src = "http://i.imgur.com/Xw6htaT.jpg"
    }, 4000);

var target = document.querySelector('#img');

var observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutations) {
  
  mutations.forEach(function(mutation) {
    console.log(mutation.type);
  });
});

var config = {
  attributes: true,
  childList: true,
  characterData: true
};

observer.observe(target, config);

// otherwise
observer.disconnect();
observer.observe(target, config);
