: variable = eval("something"+top.location+"something else");

this is not an appropriate use of eval() -- unless you're trying to evaluate
a string to a variable.

the example they give isn't a very good one as you can accomplish the very
same thing *without* using eval().

they are obviously strings -- hence the double-quotes around them.
