The fact that one particular browser doesn't throw a syntax error
doesn't mean that it isn't one. It is. The language is specified by
ECMA-262, not Microsoft's IE development team.
If you want to create a function from arbitrary code at runtime (and
there are very few reasons to do that), use the Function constructor:
var stuff7 = new Function('alert("stuff..")') ;
