eval语法报错 ie10,JavaScript eval（）“语法错误”解析函数字符串

I have a bit of JavaScript code that is specified in a configuration file on the server-side. Since I can't specify a JavaScript function in the configuration language (Lua), I have it as a string. The server returns the string in some JSON and I have the client interpret it using a clean-up function:

parse_fields = function(fields) {

for (var i = 0; i < fields.length; ++i) {

if (fields[i].sortType) {

sort_string = fields[i].sortType;

fields[i].sortType = eval(sort_string);

}

return fields;

}

};

So basically it just evaluates sortType if it exists. The problem is that Firebug is reporting a "Syntax error" on the eval() line. When I run the same steps on the Firebug console, it works with no problems and I can execute the function as I expect. I've tried some different variations: window.eval instead of plain eval, storing the sortType as I've done above, and trying small variations to the string.

A sample value of fields[i].sortType is "function(value) { return Math.abs(value); }". Here's the testing I did in Firebug console:

>>> sort_string

"function(value) { return Math.abs(value); }"

>>> eval(sort_string)

function()

>>> eval(sort_string)(-1)

1

and the error itself in Firebug:

syntax error

[Break on this error] function(value) { return Math.abs(value); }

The last bit that may be relevant is that this is all wrapped in an Ext JS onReady() function, with an Ext.ns namespace change at the top. But I assumed the window.eval would call the global eval, regardless of any possible eval in more specific namespaces.

Any ideas are appreciated.

To do what you want, wrap your string in parentheses:

a = "function(value) { return Math.abs(value);}";

b = eval("("+a+")");

b(-1);
