Alex's code was doing the equivalent of:
$(".btnSave").click("editElementNameSave");
The click() function, like all event functions, expects to receive a
*reference* to a function, not the *name* of a function.
Your code is doing the equivalent of:
"editElementNameSave"();
You can't call a string as if it were a function.
If editElementNameSave() is a global function (not nested inside another
function), you can do:
$(".btnSave").click( window[handler+'Save'] );
Alex, if you could explain the purpose of the code and give a more complete
example, there may be a better way to do it.
