Ding ding ding ding!

And jeff really put it in its true perspective better than I did.
eval truly is a crutch - and the part about being unreadable is very
well made.

One thing to remember about javascript is that it is object oriented,
all you need is a correct reference to an object, and you can do all
sorts of fun stuff with it/them.
