Whenever you change a class in your script, you could use a trigger to raise your own event.
$(this).addClass('someClass');
$(mySelector).trigger('cssClassChanged')
....
$(otherSelector).bind('cssClassChanged', data, function(){ do stuff });
but otherwise, no, there’s no baked-in way to fire an event when a class changes. change() only fires after focus leaves an input whose input has been altered.
$(function() {
var button = $('.clickme')
, box = $('.box')
;
button.on('click', function() {
box.removeClass('box');
$(document).trigger('buttonClick');
});
$(document).on('buttonClick', function() {
box.text('Clicked!');
});
});.box { background-color: red; }<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="box">Hi</div>
<button class="clickme">Click me</button>
