JavaScript variable number of arguments to function

Question

Is there a way to allow \"unlimited\" vars for a function in JavaScript?

Example:

load(var1, var2, var3, var4, var5, etc...)
load(var1)

Answer 1

Another option is to pass in your arguments in a context object.

function load(context)
{
    // do whatever with context.name, context.address, etc
}

and use it like this

load({name:'Ken',address:'secret',unused:true})

This has the advantage that you can add as many named arguments as you want, and the function can use them (or not) as it sees fit.
