We have a JQuery plugin that scans for attributed instructions and does some internal wire up of routines. We would like to allow content owners to provide us with a Name of a method that matches a predefined signature which we will call within our process at the appropriate time.

At design time you might normally do something like this:

myplugin.callback = function (){ /* Do stuff */ }

We want the caller to describe the reference and we will scan it and set things up once the DOM is ready. Something like the following:

Content owner defines their intent

<div callback="MyMethodName">

We find the instruction and then attach it to the required callback point in our plugin

var methodRef = ?????; myplugin.callback = methodRef

Is there a mechanism in JQuery to find a method by its name/signature and create an invokable reference to it?
