I need to check my variable mutexSelect as follows:

window.setInterval( function(){
   if (mutexSelect === true) {
      mutexSelect = false;
      makeIntoSelect(newSelectedItem);
   }
},300);

But it's not like how would like to have. Sometimes it leads to further conflicts and not calling makeIntoSelect function. Are there any other options to watch a variable by JS or jQuery? Thanks in Advance!

look into mutation observers – Sterling Archer Jan 11 '18 at 18:01
@SterlingArcher Is it ok to use mutation observer for this? I thought mutation observers are best fit to observe dom changes. – karthick Jan 11 '18 at 18:10
@karthick good question, I'm not 100% familiar with observers but that's really the next best option I think – Sterling Archer Jan 11 '18 at 18:11
