Thanks for the heads up and the link Leonard, will look into using Function to execute ECMAScript in X3DJSONLD—X3DJSONLD is still very much a prototype when dealing with Scripts. Can you discuss uses of eval with Holger, Andreas? The use of a scope with eval in X_ITE is similar to Function perhaps? I need to read more.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>One thing that comes to mind right away for X3DJSONLD is the ability to execute ROUTEs to and from scripts.

Hmm.</p><p class=MsoNormal><br>In particular, if you are using Scripts.js or loadScripts in X3DJSONLD, you should make sure your ECMAScript does not have security holes.
