[thelist] js eval

[Warden, Matt]

Are you saying that you get an error on the eval() function, or the variable
that produced by eval. The var produced by eval will have to be defined
before hand, else it will give you undefined. If you don't know where it's
barfing...

eval("alert('eval works!');alert(myvar"+dynamicText+");");

if you clarify what the problem is, I'm sure I can help. You can reference
ANYTHING with eval() because what is does is:

a. evaluate the expression
b. *THEN* executes it

so, really, js doesn't even know that the alerts are in eval()s. It's almost
like dynamically writing lines to your script.

HTH,
