[jQuery] Re: Applying a string as a function?

[Pops]

How do you passing parameters via the settings?

An example is passing the speed

   var settings = {
         ...
         show: "slideDown(50)",
         ...
    };

I get a syntax error for:

   $box[ settings.show || 'show' ]();

I guess I have to passing the parameter as setting?

   var settings = {
         ...
         show: "slideDown".
         speed: 50,
         ...
    };

   $box[ settings.show || 'show' ](settings.speed);

Correct?
