[jQuery] Re: How can I call a function if I have that function name stored in a string?

I don't know about the $.fn.myplugin part - that's not how you would
typically call a plugin function in the first place.

But in general, given any object 'foo' and any property 'bar', you can
reference the 'bar' property in either of two ways:

foo.bar

Or:

foo['bar']

If 'bar' is a method, you can call it with:

foo.bar(...);

Or:

foo['bar'](...);

Either one means exactly the same thing.

One common use for this is with show and hide methods. Instead of coding:

if( doShow )
$('#foo').show();
else
$('#foo').hide();

You can code:

$('#foo')[ doShow ? 'show' : 'hide' ]();
