How can I call this function?

[Shanester]

Greetings, I would like to call a function, but the name of a function is stored in another functions argument list, like this:

function chromeFix(funcName) {  funcName();}

The name of the function I want to call is passed to chromeFix as an argument. However, "funcName()" generates an error saying "Function expected". How can I call a function like this? PHP allows variable functions. Javascript either doesn't allow it, or I'm not doing it properly. Thanks,Shane.

function chromeFix(funcName) {   alert("wait i am first");  funcName();  }var thisfunction = function hello(){alert("hello")}chromeFix(thisfunction)

the name isn't "stored" in the arguments, that's just how the Chromefix function knows how to reference it. the error is pretty clear though. It says it is expecting a function, as dsonesuk is showing you in his example.

It sounds like you're passing a string function name instead of a reference to the actual function.
