I'm trying to find an alternative within a running script for a straight
eval(externalSourceCodeInputStreamReader) that will let me check whether
the external source code is valid JavaScript before I eval() it.
I'm sure some of you JavaScript gurus have plenty of ideas.
Note: it would be nice if there were more explanations of alternatives
under the "Don't use eval!" section on this page...
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference/Global_Functions/eval#Don%27t_use_eval!
That page says "There are safe alternatives to eval() for common
use-cases", and I'm interested in what they are.
I'd like to be able to input the code from external sites (which I have
no control over) and be able to tell what is wrong with them when they
won't eval() correctly.
Anyone have some nice hints?
Thanks,
Daniel Gibby
