I have this code

<html>
<head>

<script src="jquery-1.7.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery-ui-1.8.20.custom.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type = "text/javascript">
function MyFunc(obj,method){
    // obj.hide("slow"); // This part is working fine i.e. it is hiding the paragraph
    obj + "." + method + "(\"slow\")"; // This is not working

$(function(){
    $("#pid1").click(function(){
        MyFunc($("#pid1"),"hide");
    });
});

</script

</head>

<body>
<p id = "pid1">Test Paragraph</p>
</body>

</html>

i.e I want to pass the parameters to the jquery hide function and form the correct string to call the effect but it is not working as in the code above. Am I missing something ?

    You can use square brackets to access the property of an object with a string:

    function MyFunc(obj, method) {
    obj[method]("slow"); 
}

    Also note that you had missed the closing curly brace of MyFunc.

    What you are currently doing is just producing a string, by concatenating a bunch of strings with an object. It won’t throw an error, but it won’t do anything whatsoever.
