Question

 countImage = data.filter(function(value) { return value !== undefined }).length;

This statement return error of Object doesn’t support this property or method, how to fix the problem ? thanks

Update, data is get from ajax and it is an array encoded using json

$imgArray[] = $dir.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$file.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'Pv'.$filePadded.'.png';
die(json_encode($imgArray));

data: {'data':issueString}, 
                success: function (data) {
                    countImage = data.filter(function(value) { return value !== undefined }).length;

Answer 1

What you get is a javascript array and not a jquery object so you are calling on the Array.prototype.filter method.

If you see the compatibility for IE it is mentioned that it is supported in IE9+.

In that page there is also a method to use for browsers that do not support Array.prototype.filter

if (!Array.prototype.filter)
{
  Array.prototype.filter = function(fun /*, thisp */)
  {
    "use strict";

    if (this == null)
      throw new TypeError();

    var t = Object(this);
    var len = t.length >>> 0;
    if (typeof fun != "function")
      throw new TypeError();

    var res = [];
    var thisp = arguments[1];
    for (var i = 0; i < len; i++)
    {
      if (i in t)
      {
        var val = t[i]; // in case fun mutates this
        if (fun.call(thisp, val, i, t))
          res.push(val);
      }
    }

    return res;
  };
}
