Array.prototype.forEach() in IE8

To work around this, we can explore JavaScript’s dynamic feature of extending built in functions for in this case the object Array. We can add our own forEach() funtion on the Array object in our application.

Code:

if (typeof Array.prototype.forEach != 'function') {
    Array.prototype.forEach = function(callback){
      for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++){
        callback.apply(this, [this[i], i, this]);
      }
    };
}
