I habitually pass parameters to functions as object literals, thus....

calling:

render({

 param1: 99

 param2: {'a': 88, 'b': 77}

});

method:

render: function (p) {

 alert( p.param1);

 var data = p.param2;



 etc

}

I tend to pass parameters like this in all cases nowadays - even if the function / method only accepts 1 argument. The reason is that I find this method neat and also if I wish to add another parameter at a later date it is simple to add to to the object.

I would like to know from some experienced javascript people if there is any reason why doing things in this way might be a bad idea - I do not work with other developers so am sometimes unsure if the way I do things is correct.

Thanks!
