(I hope you don't actually want to pass the _name_ of the callback
function, but rather a reference to the function.)

I'm afraid I don't understand what the actual problem is. If you have
two data handler functions -

  function dataHandler1 (str) {
      alert("data handler 1 received: " + str);
  }

  function dataHandler2 (str) {
      alert("data handler 2 received: " + str);
  }

- and some generic function to do the XHR stuff -

  function fetch (url, callback) {
      // (minimal example)
      var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
      xhr.open("GET", url, true);
      xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
          if (xhr.readyState == "4") {
              callback(xhr.responseText);
          }
      };
      xhr.send();
  }

- then this is how you can direct the result to one of the two handlers:

  fetch("/a.txt", dataHandler1);
  fetch("/a.txt", dataHandler2);

What am I missing?
