threads merged ... don't double post the same question ...

to your problem: eval() is definitly working in FF ... post the code that makes the problem ... probably we need to see more then the eval line especially where you create/retrieve the string that you want to evaluate ... give an example for that string

kind regards

here is the problem with code

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. if(questiontype == 'DA'){
  2.  
  3.                 var monthValue = "document.getElementById('month_"+sectionid+"_"+questionid+"')";
  4.                 var month = trimString(eval(monthValue).value);
  5.                 var dateValue = "document.getElementById('date_"+sectionid+"_"+questionid+"')";
  6.                 var date = trimString(eval(dateValue).value);
  7.                 var yearValue = "document.getElementById('year_"+sectionid+"_"+questionid+"')";
  8.                 var year = trimString(eval(yearValue).value);

you just don't need to use eval here ... just use:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. var month_id = 'month_' + sectionid + '_' + questionid;
  2. var month = document.getElementById(month_id).value;
typically eval() is never needed, except when you need to eval json-data.

kind regards

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);

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
