    eval function not working in Mozilla

    Hi

    My second question is the eval function of javascript works fine in IE7 but not in Mozilla. The function in my code is as follows:
    Code:
    var str = "alert('how r u')";
eval(str);
    How do i make it work in Mozilla.

    Thanks
    Mansoor

      Heya, Mansoor.

      Are you getting an error, or is it just not doing anything?

              Hi
              browse http://www.w3schools.c om/js/tryit.asp?filen ame=tryjs_text
              and remove the code on the left hand side and paste the following code and test it


              Code:
              <html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function valuereturned()
{

var str="alert('button has been clicked')";
return str;
}
function evaluate()
{
str2= valuereturned();
eval(str2);
}

</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" value ="Click Me" onClick="evaluate()">

</body>
</html>
              This works fine when the link pasted above is opened in IE7 but doesnot seem to work in Mozilla
              Thanks
