need to use the value in a variable as the function name

[johnsmith153]

In this:

 

document.addEventListener('click', your_function, false);

 

...the 'your_function' is the function name.

 

I need to be able to do this:

 

$var_name = "your_function";

document.addEventListener('click', $var_name, false);

 

I am adding event listeners using values in an array so I am looping through the array and performing a function similar to above.

 

I don't just use the above as I understand it does;t work on all browsers - but the key thing is being able to set the function name with a variable.

 

Thanks in advance.

It would be like this:

$var_name = function()
{
     // your function
}
