Can someone tell me why this eval() doesn't work in IE
Is there some reason why you're not just doing this:
paramArray[0] = "item=html";
eval(paramArray[0]);
which seems to be exactly the same without the complicated middle steps?
BTW, following your original direction you should try using:
eval(name+"="+value);
or
window[name]=value;
since variables are just properties of the window.
Additionally, I would avoid using either "name" or "value" as variable names.
