  Hi,

  I would like to ask if there is a way to perform programmatically the
following ...

foo.bar.i = "value";

  ... given that I have access to the left and right parts of the
assignment - say the strings "foo.bar.i" and "value".

  Let me re-phrase my question in a more general form: Suppose that I have 2
JavaScript expressions. The 1st holds the left part of the assignment
(l-value expression) and the 2nd holds the right part of the assignment
(r-value). Using the JS_ExecuteScript(...) I can evaluate a jsval for the
r-value. How can I gain access to the object/property pair (l-value) which
is the receiver of the evaluated r-value?

  My actual problem arises when I have the l-value in a string form, the
r-value already evaluated (as a jsval) and I want to assign the latter on
the former.

  Thanks in advance,

  Costas
