toString? 1

[stormbind]

The following doesn't work but I include it to try and explain my blunder

I wish to output the value of a variable, in the followig case it should print <B>main</B> but it's important that it gets that value indirectly from the variable: sect

---
var page = 'main';
var sect = 'page';
document.write('<B>'+toString(sect)+'</B>');
---

Is the code called from a function, or from the global(window) level? Show the scenario in which it's called

If you can show it working inline then I can apply the fix

The 3 lines above are the bare bones of the scenario.

Maybe I've missed something, but wouldn't this work:

var page = 'main';
var sect = 'page';
document.write('<B>' + sect + '</B>');

I.E. removing the toString?

var page = 'main';
var sect = 'page';
document.write('<B>'+window[sect]+'</B>');

This will do the job...

var page = 'main';
var sect = 'page';
document.write('<B>'+eval(sect)+'</B>');

Cheers ggrabbit!
