Pass object to javascript function

Question

I have recently been messing around with jQuery on my website  and I have a fairly limited knowledge of Javascript  I am beginning to like the jQuery ability to pass variables to a jQuery function inside the curly braces  like so     somediv  animate  thisisone  1  thisistwo  2   thisisavar     What I was wondering is how I can write a Javascript function that I can pass items to inside the curly braces  I know you can write functions like this   function someName var1  var2  var3            but that doesn t support the braces  I also know that you can add no arguments and do this   function accident         for  var i   0  i  lt  arguments length  i               alert  This accident was caused by     arguments i            accident  me   a car   alcohol   a tree that had no right to be in the path of my driving      but I also want to pass outside variables instead of just a whole line of strings  if that makes sense   Basically  I want a function that I can pass variables to  like so   function myFunction neededcodehere         Some code here       myFunction  var1    Option 1    Option 2    Option 3    anothervar

The  quot braces quot  are making an object literal  i e  they create an object  It is one argument  Example  function someFunc arg        alert arg foo       alert arg bar      someFunc  foo   quot This quot   bar   quot works  quot      the object can be created beforehand as well  var someObject         foo   quot This quot        bar   quot works  quot      someFunc someObject    I recommend to read the MDN JavaScript Guide - Working with Objects
