I think Mark is looking for a way to invoke a function call with a string. The fastest is to use bracket notation:
Assuming you have the function defined in the scope of this, you can invoke the function like this: this["on" + event.target.name + anotherVariable](); I'm not sure I would use this technique/architecture myself.
