    From =?UTF-8?Q?Jonas_Th=C3=B6rnvall?=@21:1/5 to All on Fri Dec 3 22:51:11 2021
    Is eval the only way to create and execute dynamic commands? command="parent.MultiID.document.getElementById('MVOL"+track+"').value=CCvol"

    eval(command);

    Or is there a way to insert a string into a command?

    Script element injection; function instantiation; `javascript:` protocol;
    and own JS interpreter.

    The correct answer is that you're doing it wrong.

    Use a function and not a string. Your command is a reference to that function.
