Question

Not sure how to ask this question, but here goes.

Say I have:

var foo = 'marginLeft';

How can I change it into:

marginLeft

So this would be possible:

$(element).animate({foo: 20});

Please note, not looking for this (I want the curly braces):

$(element).animate(foo,20);

Answer 1

Well, you should be able to get the same behavior with something like this:

var foo = "marginLeft";
var x = {};
x[foo]=20;

$(element).animate(x);
