将逗号分隔值的字符串转换为多维javascript数组？

Question

In my getOptions.jsp file, I have created a string with jstl.

<c:set var="options" value="Maximize,Redo,RemoveFormat,Save" />

This string should now be transformed into this format (which is, if I am correct, a multidimensional javascript array (or is it json?)).

[['Maximize', 'Redo','RemoveFormat','Save']] 

I have to do this because this format is expected by a javascript method located in another .jsp (showToolbar.jsp),

function handleToolbar(options) {
          //toolbar = [['Maximize', 'Redo','RemoveFormat','Save']];  the expected format!
          toolbar = options;
    }

So my question is, how do I transform the comma-seperated string 'options' into the format that is expected in the 'toolbar' variable in order to pass it from one jsp to the other and pass it as a parameter of the handleToolbar function.

Note: I guess it is not ideal to use javascript in a jsp but that I cannot change because I inherited the code.

Thanks alot in advance, I've been searching for hours for the solution and can't find it.

Simple:

var myString = "Maximize,Redo,RemoveFormat,Save";
var myArray = [myString.split(',')];

The result is an array that has 1 element in it. That 1 element is this array:

['Maximize', 'Redo','RemoveFormat','Save']

So, myArray is:

[['Maximize', 'Redo','RemoveFormat','Save']]
