If I have the following functions, is there a way to alter showData()
to get at the value of the array without resorting to an eval?
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var gRaces = new Array();
gRaces[ "elf" ]= { str:8, dex:10, con:6, 'int':8, wis:8,
cha:8 };
gRaces[ "half-elf" ]= { str:8, dex:10, con:8, 'int':8, wis:8,
cha:8 };
gRaces[ "half-orc" ]= { str:10, dex:8, con:8, 'int':6, wis:8,
cha:6 };
function showData(race, ab) {
alert( eval( 'gRaces[race].' + ab ) );
}
// ]]>
</script>
</head>
<body onload="showData('half-orc', 'int')">
</body>
</html>

Yes. (I say that before looking at the code, because I am a firm believer
in the abolishment of unneeded evals)
If you use XHTML, you should declare it somewhere. Otherwise,
CDATA-sections probably makes no difference
var gRaces = new Array();
.... gRaces[ "half-elf" ]= { str:8, dex:10, con:8, 'int':8, wis:8,
cha:8 };
Half-elves don't have a racial bonus to dex. :P
function showData(race, ab) {
alert( eval( 'gRaces[race].' + ab ) );
Just as you write gRaces[race] instead of "gRaces."+race, you can use
square-bracket notation for ab:
alert(gRaces[race][ab])

Thanks, I did (and do). I omitted the declaration for brevity. var gRaces = new Array();
... gRaces[ "half-elf" ]= { str:8, dex:10, con:8, 'int':8, wis:8,
cha:8 };
Half-elves don't have a racial bonus to dex. :P
House rules? Kidding. Cut & Paste mistake function showData(race, ab) {
alert( eval( 'gRaces[race].' + ab ) );
Just as you write gRaces[race] instead of "gRaces."+race, you can use
square-bracket notation for ab:
alert(gRaces[race][ab])
Thanks for that.

There are certainly no XHTML user agents that want the language
attribute on the script element.
There's also precious few XHTML user agents at all, probably best not
to use it.
