Synopsis
public Object eval(String s)Arguments
s
A string that contains arbitrary JavaScript statements separated by
semicolons.
Returns
The JavaScript value of the last expression evaluated in
s, converted to a Java object.
Description
The eval( ) method of the Java JSObject class
evaluates the JavaScript code contained in the string
s in the context of the JavaScript object
specified by the JSObject. The behavior of the eval(
) method of the Java JSObject class is much like that of
the JavaScript global eval( ) function.
The argument s may contain any number of
JavaScript statements separated by semicolons; these statements are
executed in the order in which they appear. The return value of
eval( ) is the value of the last statement or
expression evaluated in s.

This fourth edition of the definitive reference to
JavaScript, a scripting language that can be embedded
directly in web pages, covers the latest version of the
language, JavaScript 1.5, as supported by Netscape 6 and
Internet Explorer 6. The book also provides complete
coverage of the W3C DOM standard (Level 1 and Level 2),
while retaining material on the legacy Level 0 DOM for
backward compatibility.
