reference variable in function definition
<pre><code>element.onmouseover = function onmouseover(event){ this.src=oldLinkImageOver; };
</code></pre>

<p>the variable <code>oldLinkImageOver</code> is a variable holding the string "images/image.png", but <code>alert(element.onmouseover);</code> on this will come out as <code>oldLinkImageOver</code> rather than what it references.  </p>

<p>Is there a way to have <code>oldLinkImageOver</code> be the value it references rather than the name of the reference?  </p>
