Question

I’ve got a little function here and I want to replace some of paramaters of the animate with the passed variables .

function anibut(side,dir) {
    button = $(this);
    button.animate({
        marginLeft: '-=3px'
    }, 200)
}

I’d like the Left in marginLeft replaced with side and the – in -=3px replaced with dir .

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

function anibut(side,dir) {
    var hash = {};
    hash['margin'+side] = dir + '=3px';
    button = $(this);
    button.animate(hash, 200)
}

You can call it like this:

anibut("Right", "+");
