So I'm trying to call this method:

refreshMoradaLabel = function(idPlaceHolder) {...};

With the window object:

window [ refreshMoradaLabel('id') ] ();

But this doesn't seem to work. It's only when the method has no parameters. Is there a way to work using the window [ variable ] () syntax?

Edit;

ok here's the code:

moarada.jsp has the code with these methods:

<c:set var="methodOnClose" value="refreshDynamicValues" />
<c:if test="${empty fieldInstance || (not empty fieldInstance && isTramitacao)}">
  <c:set var="methodOnClose" value="refreshMoradaLabel(${dfieldId})" />
</c:if>
<a class="texto" href="#" onclick="editMoradaPopup('${dfieldId}','${methodOnClose}');" id="moradas_${dfieldId}"><img alt="${moradaDes}" src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/images/icon/icon-pesquisa.png"></a>

window.refreshMoradaLabel = function(idPlaceHolder) {

    alert("label:" +idPlaceHolder);
    if($F(idPlaceHolder) != '') {
        //Update label
        new Ajax.Updater(idPlaceHolder+'_label', 'moradaPopupLocaleAware.do2?method=getLabel', 
                {method: 'get', parameters: 'id='+$F(idPlaceHolder)});
    }

};

window.editMoradaPopup= function(idPlaceHolder,method){ alert(idPlaceHolder); Ext.onReady(function(){ action = "${pageContext.request.contextPath}/moradaPopupLocaleAware.do2"; action += "?method=edit&id="+$(idPlaceHolder).value;

        action += "&idPlaceHolder="+idPlaceHolder;
        action += "&savemorada=true";
        action += "&window=winchoose";      
        return ExtWindowAll('${moradaDes}',action,'','html',true,true,true,650,400,true,true,'fit', method);
    });

};

The method ExtWindowAll eventually call code from another js file, that results calling a close window event, with the string of the method name(refreshMoaraLabel) including possible params:

winchoose.on('close', function( p ) { if(functionOnClose) {
alert("method: "+functionOnClose); var substr=functionOnClose.match(/(([^)]*))/); var param=''; if(substr!=null){ param=substr[1]; param="'"+param+"'"; }

        debugger;
        if(window[functionOnClose]) {
            window[functionOnClose](param);
        }
    }
});

The window object contains a property of name refreshMoradaLabel. To access the property, we can use either dot or square bracket notation:

window.refreshMoradaLabel or window['refreshMoradaLabel']

The value of that property is a function. To invoke it, we add parentheses: window.refreshMoradaLabel('id') or window['refreshMoradaLabel']('id').

Try this way:-

Window Context needs to take the function name as string.

 window ["refreshMoradaLabel"]();

  window ["refreshMoradaLabel"]('id');

Instead you are trying to invoke the method inside the window context.

window [ refreshMoradaLabel('id') ] (); when you do this you are trying to invoke the result of refreshMoradaLabel('id') which is undefined. since refreshMoradaLabel('id') gets executed first before even reaching the funciton call () of window..
