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 keys() method on maps. 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 keys() method on maps, the testing is stopped and the implementation test reports: Fail (no support): The web browser does not recognize the JavaScript keys() method on maps. The web browser does not support the JavaScript keys() method on maps.

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

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.

1.1. keys() Method On Maps Web Browser Support

  • Pass (at least partial/possibly full support): ED12+, FF27+, CH38+, OP25+.
  • Pass/Fail (partial support): FF20 - 26.
  • Fail (no support): IE11-, SF5.1.7-.

1.2. Abbreviations

  • IE = Internet Explorer.
  • ED = Edge Legacy 12 - 18 (EdgeHTML based) and Edge 79+ (Chromium based).
  • FF = Firefox.
  • SF = Safari.
  • CH = Chrome.
  • OP = Opera.

2.1. Web Browser Support Test Source Code

<p id='testId'><b>Fail</b> (no support): The web browser does not recognize the JavaScript <code>keys()</code> method on maps. The web browser does not support the JavaScript <code>keys()</code> method on maps.</p><!-- Hard code Fail because web browser no support error stops JavaScript execution. -->

Call keys() generator function. Call returns a Generator object which inherits prototype from Object (window.Generator property does not exist) and is an iterator. Generator object has next() method property. Called by keys(), map iterator object next() method return object value property is set to map element key.

2.2. Web Browser Support Test Result

Fail (no support): The web browser does not recognize the JavaScript keys() method on maps. The web browser does not support the JavaScript keys() method on maps.
