JavaScript Feature Reference: forEach() Method On Arrays Web Browser Support Test

1. Introduction

In this web page there are two web browser JavaScript feature support tests; 1.) a feature implementation test, and 2.) a feature capability test. First, the implementation test is run. The implementation test determines if the web browser recognizes the JavaScript forEach() method on arrays. The implementation test is a simple test for the presence of web browser support, and a definitive test for the absence of web browser support. If the web browser does not recognize the JavaScript forEach() method on arrays, the testing is stopped and the implementation test reports: Fail (no support): The web browser does not recognize the JavaScript forEach() method on arrays. The web browser does not support the JavaScript forEach() method on arrays.

If the web browser recognizes the JavaScript forEach() method on arrays, the capability test is run. The capability test determines if the web browser's implementation of the JavaScript forEach() method on arrays includes support for at least one forEach() method on arrays capability. The capability test is a more definitive, albeit not an all inclusive, test for the presence of web browser support. If the web browser's implementation of the JavaScript forEach() method on arrays includes support for the tested capability, the capability test reports: Pass (at least partial/possibly full support): The web browser recognizes the JavaScript forEach() method on arrays, and supports at least one forEach() method on arrays capability. The web browser at least partially/possibly fully supports the JavaScript forEach() method on arrays. Positive determination of full web browser support is beyond the scope of this test. If the web browser's implementation of the JavaScript forEach() method on arrays does not include support for the tested capability, the capability test reports: Pass/Fail (partial support): The web browser recognizes the JavaScript forEach() method on arrays, but does not support at least one forEach() method on arrays capability. The web browser partially supports the JavaScript forEach() method on arrays.

The web browser support test source code is shown in Section 2.1. The web browser support test source code is run in Section 2.2, which shows the web browser support test result.
