Call user func with function name in variable

I have the name of a function in a variable - how can I call this function?

In PHP I'd use

call_user_func($funcName);

PHP:

but I don't know enough javascript.. any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

 

<script type="text/javascript">
function foo(){
  alert('bar');
}
var f='foo';
eval(f+'()');
</script>

HTML:

 

Perfect! Thanks for the fast reply.. eval was just what I needed.

 

The correct method is function_name.call(arguments here)

Check http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference:Global_Objects:Function:call

 

Thanks but that way doesn't work:
Error: func.call is not a function

Where func is the variable holding the function name. eval(func+'()') works fine though.

 

func should not be a variable. It should be the function name itself

function foo(var1, var2, var3){

}
foo.call(thisObj, var1, var2, var3)

Code (markup):

The first variable is the object to be used as the current object, if you are using OOP.
