How to create a variable from the value of another variable
<p>I need to create a variable from the value of another variable.  As an example, this would be similar to how I would do this in VFP:</p>

<pre><code>nameOfNextVar = "port_no_1";
eval(nameOfNextVar) = 7493
</code></pre>

<p>Then I will be able to say:</p>

<pre><code>alert(port_no_1);
</code></pre>

<p>And the alert would give me 7493...</p>

<p>Is this possible in JavaScript???</p>

<p>TIA</p>
