I agree accessing variables directly is simpler and more efficient, but
the OP was looking for a JS version of a PHP's variable variable which
the above method does not address. Personally I avoid variable
variables, I find you can really get yourself into trouble and they can
be a b*tch to debug, but again it was what the OP asked.
