Arguments: fn - function to execute with each item in the array; passed the item and the index of that item in the array bind - the object to bind "this" to (see <Function.bind>) Example: >['apple','banana','lemon'].each(function(item, index){ > alert(index + " = " + item); //alerts "0 = apple" etc. >}, bindObj); //optional second arg for binding, not used here */ forEach: function(fn, bind){ for (var i = 0, j = this.length; i < j; i++) fn.call(bind, this[i], i, this); }, /* Property: filter This method is provided only for browsers without native *filter* support.

Array elements which do not pass the callback test are simply skipped, and are not included in the new array. Arguments: fn - function to execute with each item in the array; passed the item and the index of that item in the array bind - the object to bind "this" to (see <Function.bind>) Example: >var biggerThanTwenty = [10,3,25,100].filter(function(item, index){ > return item > 20; >}); >//biggerThanTwenty = [25,100] */ filter: function(fn, bind){ var results = []; for (var i = 0, j = this.length; i < j; i++){ if (fn.call(bind, this[i], i, this)) results.push(this[i]); } return results; }, /* Property: map This method is provided only for browsers without native *map* support.

Arguments: fn - function to execute with each item in the array; passed the item and the index of that item in the array bind - the object to bind "this" to (see <Function.bind>) Example: >var timesTwo = [1,2,3].map(function(item, index){ > return item*2; >}); >//timesTwo = [2,4,6]; */ map: function(fn, bind){ var results = []; for (var i = 0, j = this.length; i < j; i++) results[i] = fn.call(bind, this[i], i, this); return results; }, /* Property: every This method is provided only for browsers without native *every* support. For more info see <http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference:Global_Objects:Array:every> *every* executes the provided callback function once for each element present in the array until it finds one where callback returns a false value. If such an element is found, the every method immediately returns false. Otherwise, if callback returned a true value for all elements, every will return true. callback is invoked only for indexes of the array which have assigned values; it is not invoked for indexes which have been deleted or which have never been assigned values. Arguments: fn - function to execute with each item in the array; passed the item and the index of that item in the array bind - the object to bind "this" to (see <Function.bind>) Example: >var areAllBigEnough = [10,4,25,100].every(function(item, index){ > return item > 20; >}); >//areAllBigEnough = false */ every: function(fn, bind){ for (var i = 0, j = this.length; i < j; i++){ if (!fn.call(bind, this[i], i, this)) return false; } return true; }, /* Property: some This method is provided only for browsers without native *some* support.
