Execute dynamic code

Question

i have following in a string.

javascript: __doPostBack('GridWidget', 'Edit$0')

how can i dynamically execute this?

Lets me wonder: where does this string come from? Can't you include this in a static JS file? If it's really dynamic (e.g., user input), you're creating a huge security hole. — Marcel Korpel

Remove the "javascript:" from the front, and call eval() on the string.

var js = "javascript: __doPostBack('GridWidget', 'Edit$0')".replace("javascript:","");
eval(js)
