[jQuery] Syntax for bind using a string from a variable for the callback functions name
Hello,
I'm stuck on a silly detail.
I want to bind a click to a function whose name is a simple string in
a variable from a database
I've tried a number of different syntactical combinations but none
seem to work.
Here is my code:
$( ".object" ).each( function() {
var element = this;
var click_func = $( "#"+element.id +
" .dp_properties").attr("dp_click_func");
if ( typeof( click_func ) != "undefined" ) {
$(element).bind( "click", click_func ); // This doesnt'
work, it's a function name from a database
} else {
$(element).bind( "click", click_handler ); // This does work,
it's a predefined function
}
});
The function name that I'm using in click_func is called lock and the
function is predefined in my base javascript.
I tried calling it by using window[click_func](), click_func+"()" and
other assorted methods. No luck.
I'm sure this is vary simple and I will slap my head when it gets
figured out.
Thanks,
ml
