alternatives to eval for running remote code.
- by Raynos
Are there any alternatives to using eval to immediatly run remote & trusted javascript code.
function load(filePath) {
var o = $.ajax({
url: filePath,
dataType: 'html',
async: false
});
eval(o.responseText);
}
load("somePath");
// run a function that relies on the code from o.responseText being loaded
doSomethingWithCode();
I'm aware that synchronous loading of javascript is adviced againts. But if there is no choice are there any cross browser alternatives for the use of eval above.
[Edit]
To clarify in more detail the code being loaded is a self executing function. Which needs to execute before doSomethingWidthCode. It's also being loaded from the server on the same domain hence its trusted.
