Add JavaScript Function to Page Dynamically

Question

I have a function which creates JavaScript code dynamically.

Now I want to add this function to the page so that this function can be executed on specific events using JavaScript or jQuery.

How can this be done?

If your function assigns them to a variable you will be able to access them at any time.

So if your function essentially did:

var test = function() { 
   // ....
}

you could run that at any time by using test(). If you have multiple functions either assign them to an object or use an array.

One way would be to use the eval(string) function, though it won't be advisable.
