The eval not working in Edge Browser too

Chien, John K 1

I have following code:

var callF = "window.opener.<%= callback %>('" + selectedValue + "')";
eval(callF);

The callback is "loadContact".

Therefore callF = "window.opener.loadContact(289834)";

It works in IE, but not EDGE

Hi @Chien, John K

I can't reproduce the issue. I use the code like this and it works well in Edge and IE:

Is there any error in console in Edge? What is loadContact(289834) in your code? Could you please elaborate more about how you define loadContact(289834) and provide a code snippet which can run and reproduce the issue?

Besides, I suggest that you don't use eval() function. You can refer to the warning in this doc.
