turning a string to the dom object it represents

[yovalk]

I have a string which represents a dom object.
How do I turn it into an object like document,
which I can traverse and use methods like
getElementByTagName()?

Thanks alot,
Yuval

window["document"].someMethod().

What do you mean?
I have a string which is html code, how do I turn it into a document?
Thanks,

See with javascript a keyed array is equivilant to an object property
i.e

  array["name"] === array.name

So when traversing the dom you can for example input a string

"document"

which you could use as

i.e

window["document"].firstChild 

same as

window.document.firstChild

Yes, that's correct. Objects are also associative arrays in JavaScript.

If you still can't get it to work, post your code or an example string.
