Javascript lets you call a method directly with a string: jQuery["attr"]("id") gets the id for example. Instead of passing a string of arguments and parsing it you could just eval the attribute in the examples you gave. Ad-hoc parsing often will get you into trouble; for example the code you have will not process arglists that have strings with embedded commas. _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
