Hi All,

I have a java script function as:

XML

<script type="text/javascript" >
 var FileTypeGroupValues1 = '<%= FileTypeGroupValues.ClientID %>';
            var GroupArr;
            var VariableRecord;
            FillFileTypeArray();
            function FillFileTypeArray() {

                var strFileTypeGroup = document.getElementById(FileTypeGroupValues1).value;
                var IE = document.all ? true : false;
                if (strFileTypeGroup != "") {
                    if (IE) {
                        window.execScript(strFileTypeGroup);
                    }
                    else {

                            GroupArr = eval(strFileTypeGroup);

                        }
                    }
                }
                alert(GroupArr.length );
            }
</script>

here you can put value of strFileTypeGroup="var GroupArr = new Array();GroupArr[0] = '19~3';GroupArr[1] = '19~4';GroupArr[2] = '20~5';GroupArr[3] = '20~6';GroupArr[4] = '18~8';GroupArr[5] = '20~9';GroupArr[6] = '19~10';GroupArr[7] = '19~11';GroupArr[8] = '17~12';GroupArr[9] = '19~13';GroupArr[10] = '20~14';GroupArr[11] = '19~15';GroupArr[12] = '18~16';GroupArr[13] = '18~17';GroupArr[14] = '17~21';GroupArr[15] = '20~22';GroupArr[16] = '20~16';GroupArr[17] = '8~28';GroupArr[18] = '15~28';GroupArr[19] = '0~31';GroupArr[20] = '0~32';GroupArr[21] = '0~33';GroupArr[22] = '19~23';GroupArr[23] = '0~41';GroupArr[24] = '1~2';GroupArr[25] = '0~42';GroupArr[26] = '2~5';GroupArr[27] = '6~1';GroupArr[28] = '4~1';GroupArr[29] = '0~43';GroupArr[30] = '0~44';";

When I run this function in IE7,8,9,10 and FireFox it gives GroupArr.length=31
but it gives wrong results in IE 11 and chrome.

Please help, I am badly stuck in this problem.

Thanks & Regards

"gives wrong results in IE 11 and chrome"
OK, you told us that you expect "31", but you did not tell us what you get in IE11 and chrome.

JavaScript's eval function will return the result of the last command executed, in your case it is '0~44'.
So length will 4 - and it is true for all browsers. I run it on IE9, Opera, Firefox, Chrome, IE 11 and Safari - all returns 4!
If you want to create some dynamic array try this:

JavaScript

var cmd = "['19~3','19~4','20~5','20~6','18~8','20~9','19~10','19~11','17~12','19~13','20~14','19~15','18~16','18~17','17~21','20~22','20~16','8~28','15~28','0~31','0~32','0~33','19~23','0~41','1~2','0~42','2~5','6~1','4~1','0~43','0~44']";

var GroupArr = eval(cmd);

alert(GroupArr.length);
