How to get notified when new DOM elements are added?

Hello people,
I'm stuck with an interesting problem and need your help. The requirement is, "save" operation should happen only when the form is "dirty". i.e., users should be able to save only when they modify something on the form.

For this, I'm using "dirty form plugin", which works fine even when new elements are added. It internally uses ".liveQuery()" for adding events to new elements but it is degrading the performance very badly, since our forms are very large. I'm trying to replace it with ".live" of jQuery 1.4.2, but have a problem.

When new elements are added, I want to store their initial values and on blur, i want to compare them with their latest values. I'm able to bind event handlers to new elements using ".live()", but I want to get notified when new elements are added, so that I can make the above check. Is there any way how I can check this?
