Identify Ajax proc name from a string variable

[Hoss]

Hello all-

The best way to describe what im trying to accomplish is with a code
snippet. Im using the free .NET ajax library.

<script language='javascript'>
function proc1()
{
myFunc("MyCodeBehind.MyAjaxProc");
}
function myFunc(procName)
{
procName("My Parameter", processMyFunc);
}
function processMyFunc(response)
{
// Process response from the server
}
</script>

So im essentially invoking an Ajax function , but I cant explicitly use
the name of it like so

MyCodeBehind.MyAjaxProc("My Parameter", processMyFunc);

That line would work fine. Clearly though, this doesnt work

var procName = "MyCodeBehind";
procName("My Parameter", processMyFunc);

If anyone knows how to accomplish this, im dyin to know!

Global functions are methods of the Global Object.
In global context, `this' refers to the Global Object.

this[procName]("My Parameter", processMyFunc);

Alright - figured out the best way to do this.

var string = "var response = MyCodeBehind.MyAjaxProc('my parm')";
eval(string);
// do whatever with response variable

Why didnt I ever think of that =p

Quite the contrary.

var string = "var response = MyCodeBehind.MyAjaxProc('my parm')";
eval(string);
// do whatever with response variable

Because everybody (here) recommends against this nonsense?
