• Can I get the "value" of an arbitrary statement in JavaScript (like eval does, but without eval)

Is eval just blessed with special powers to determine the "last" value of a statement in an expression? Use case is a REPL that evaluates arbitrary expressions and returns the result. eval works, but I want to wrap it in function.

Firefox throws an exception which can be caught): function parentIsSameOrigin() { var result = true; try { result = window.parent.location.href !== undefined; } catch (e) { result = false; } return result; }
