Call a JavaScript function name using a string?

Question

How can I hook up an event to a function name I have defined as a string?

I\'m using Prototype.js, although this is not Prototype-speficic.

$(inputId

Looks like formData.fields[x].onclick holds the name of a global function? If so try:

$(inputId).observe('click', window[formData.fields[x].onclick]);
