javascript help

[Sam]

Hi,

I'm basing my question off of the example here:
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/window-programming-calling-functions.html

The example has this nice and simple javascript function:

function CallFn()
{
  var oWnd = GetRadWindowManager().getWindowByName("RadWindow1");
  oWnd.get_contentFrame().contentWindow.CalledFn();
}   

What I would like is to make the function that gets called a parameter like this (which of course won't work, but that's where you geniuses come in!)

function CallFn(WindowName,FunctionName)
{
  var oWnd = GetRadWindowManager().getWindowByName(WindowName);
  oWnd.get_contentFrame().contentWindow.FunctionName
}   

Help!
Thank you!

I have something working that is server side and client side, but I would like to know how to do this right with just javascript.

Here is what I have in vb:

Public Shared CallFunctionOnCallingWindowString As String = ""
Public Sub CallFunctionOnParentPage(ByVal CallingWindowPageName As String, ByVal FunctionName As String, ByVal CloseThisWindow As Boolean)
    Dim s As String = ""
    If CloseThisWindow = True Then
        s = "CloseThisWindow();"
    End If
    Me.CallFunctionOnCallingWindowString = "CallingWindowContent." & FunctionName
    Me.RadAjaxManagerMain.ResponseScripts.Add("CallFunctionOnCallingWindow('" & CallingWindowPageName & "');")
End Sub

and this is the client side js:

function CallFunctionOnCallingWindow(CallingWindowPageName) {
    var oWindow = GetRadWindow();
    var CallingWindow = oWnd.get_windowManager().getWindowByName(CallingWindowPageName);
    var CallingWindowContent = CallingWindow.get_contentFrame().contentWindow;
    <%= Me.CallFunctionOnCallingWindowString %>
}

Hello Sam,

Please examine the following thread which discusses the same issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/359788/how-to-execute-a-javascript-function-when-i-have-its-name-as-a-string.

For your convenience I have attached a simple page that achieves this behavior.
