   </head>

   <body>
      <script>
         if (!Array.prototype.every) {
            Array.prototype.every = function(fun /*, thisp*/) {
               var len = this.length;
               
               if (typeof fun != "function")
               throw new TypeError();
               var thisp = arguments[1];
               
               for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
                  if (i in this && !fun.call(thisp, this[i], i, this))
                  return false;
               }
               return true;
            };
          }
          function isBigEnough(element, index, array) {
             return (element >= 10);
          }
          var passed = [12, 5, 8, 130, 44].every(isBigEnough);
          document.write("First Test Value : " + passed );
          passed = [12, 54, 18, 130, 44].every(isBigEnough);
          document.write("<br>Second Test Value : " + passed );
