hi ...

welcome to TSDN ...

why do you use eval at all? in a 'regular' script there should never be a need for eval ...

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. document.getElementById(tblName).rows[0].cells[cellNo].innerHTML = document.getElementById('seat_' + seatNo).textContent
  2.  
should work fine?

kind regards

PS: FF/Mozilla has no innerText ...

Specifically, innerText is not standard.

Specifically, innerText is not standard.
Neither is innerHTML, but it's supported by probably all browsers.

the standards way probably would be to create/retrieve the entire node-hierarchy including textnodes etc. to append, replace, remove children out of the document tree and use regular dom-methods for that ... innerHTML sometimes shortens this way ... even when it is not the standard :) and i'm with acoder - i think all browsers support it ...

kind regards

Hi,

I have some obfuscated javascript that runs in IE 6 and 7 but not Firefox.

Does Firefox support eval?

Is there a reliable cross-brower way to use obfuscated javascript? I know it's not recommended but that's what I've been asked to provide.

Thanks,
Mike

It most certainly does.

Can you post the code that you're using?

Hello. I have always thought that the eval() function was very flexible and useful. If I use it, I can define functions at runtime!! However, I have found a case where eval() does not work properly. It works, for example, when invoking functions (alert('hello')), but not for defining functions. The case occurs when retrieving the javascript code with

Is this an alternative to eval(). Admittidly, I have done *very* little testing (ran it a few times in Firefox), but it seemed to work suprisingly well with simple expressions such as "alert('hello')" function _eval(s) { var h = document.getElementsByTagName("HEAD"); var o = document.createElement("SCRIPT"); o.text = s; h.appendChild(o);
