Hi there,

Do you know how to instantiate JQuery UI widget by string?

Let's illustrate it with some sample code. Given the html link element below:

<a id="testLink" href="#">Test Link</a>

Normally, we can make it into button using code below:

$('#testLink').button();

What if I want to instantiate the button with string, for example:

var widget='button';
$('#testLink').[widget]();

Of course the code block above is not working (It is just for illustration purpose only), otherwise you will not see this question.

Please advice.

Thanks,

Chee Kin
