  • version added: 1.0.4jQuery.globalEval( code )

    codeThe JavaScript code to execute.

This method behaves differently from using a normal JavaScript eval() in that it's executed within the global context (which is important for loading external scripts dynamically).

Example:

function test(){
    jQuery.globalEval("var newVar = true;")
}
test();
// newVar === true
