Array.prototype.forEach() in IE8

This is a way to work around the issue where a function in JavaScript (in this example forEach() in object Array) is not supported in IE8 or some other older browser.

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]);
      }
    };
}
