Yeah, Antonio is right.

The eval() gives "Calling eval() with anything other than a primitive
string value will simply return the value. Is this what you intended?".
...and that is not what I was intended. ;-)

Hmm, you're right, I just tried it myself and got the same thing. eval() must be broken in Rhino.

Another possibility: use the "new Function(string)" constructor to create a function from a string and then call it, for example:

  var evalFunc = new Function("string of JS code to evaluate here");
  evalFunc();

If you want to pass particular arguments to it you can do that too; more details at
