[Javascript] apostropes... '

[BEKIM BACAJ]

That was a correct answer, but it doesn't work with strigs,
because strings are interpreted literaly, there are other ways to work that out.
Why don't you try another aproach?
Make you're VAR global by declaring it as  
var myname=""  
outside of any function,

Write a function that change's the value of  variable - mymame,
and read you're value, for instance some input and say:
{myname=the_ID_of_the_input.value}
and refer to it, with:
eval(myname)
this way the myname variable will allways have an updated name, the most recently entered in the field.
Regards!
