[RESOLVED] Use string as function name

[jimmyoneshot]

I currently have a string which is retrieved from an element's data and stored in the variable "s".

I want to set an onclick of a button using this string variable as the function name followed by "(this)" so for example if the string stored in s is "showText" the function would be "showText(this)"

At the moment I apply the onclick to my button like this:-

b.onclick=function(){showText(this)};

however it needs to be something along these lines to accept a string as the function name:-

b.onclick=function(){<S GOES HERE>(this)};

Is this possible preferably without eval
