Nevermind, using new Function(replace), instead of function(replace){} worked! thank you for the article! I've done this before, just have forgot after all this time and didn't feel like going through old code.

Amit,
My example should be a good reason of when not to use eval. I think eval executes at runtime, or, at the least it is quirky. When trying to late-bind an event, eval() did not do what I wanted it to do. It ran the code at page load, rather than when the event was triggered. Instead, using the new Function() did exactly what needed to be done when late-binding an event.

This is just my example, I'm sure there are other pros/cons though.

Hope that helps,
