Microsoft® JScript™ eval Method | Language Reference Version 1

See Also Applies To

##### Description

> Evaluates JScript code.

##### Syntax

> eval(codestring)

> The codestring argument is a String object that contains valid JScript code. This string is parsed by the JScript parser and executed.

##### Remarks

> The eval function allows dynamic execution of JScript source code. For example, the following code creates a new variable mydate that contains a Date object:

> >     eval("var mydate = new Date();");

The code passed to the eval method is executed in the same context as the call to the eval method.
