The javascript eval function is considered "dangerous" by many "elite" Javascript programmers. For those of you not familiar with "eval"; it takes as an argument a string (including very very long strings), compiles it and then executes it. Naturally, the string must be syntactically correct javascript otherwise an error is thrown. The danger is reading in a string from an unknown source and blindly doing an eval on it. I use eval, Lyndell uses eval, Lowpro obviously does . . . Just don't blindly eval an unknown string
