new to javascript, help with reducing redundancy

[mamba_namba]

say i have these two functions:

function one(object)
object.style.right=1px;

function two(object) {
object.style.top=1px;
}


is there a way i could reduce redundancy by combining these two functions into one by adding an extra parameter? im thinking of something like this:

function three(object, direction) {
object.style.direction=1px;
}

how would i do something like this?

Moved to the correct forum.

That's certainly possible. Use the eval() function:

eval('object.style.' + direction + ' = 1px');
