Synopsis
public Object eval(String s)Arguments
s
A string that contains arbitrary JavaScript statements separated by
semicolons.

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.

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.
