IE issue - Object.keys(value).length not supported

Question

I\'ve been trying to debug some js in Internet Explorer, and I can\'t figure this one out. Here\'s the line that is causing the error:

var numberOfColumns =

Alternatively, you could use a recommended polyfill for browsers that don't natively support Object.keys

Object.keys=Object.keys||function(o,k,r){r=[];for(k in o)r.hasOwnProperty.call(o,k)&&r.push(k);return r}

A break down of what this script does:

Object.keys = Object.keys || function(o,k,r) { 
// If the script doesn't detect native Object.keys 
// support, it will put a function in its place (polyfill)

    r=[];
    // Initiate the return value, empty array

    for(k in o) r.hasOwnProperty.call(o,k) 
    // loop through all items in the object and verify each
    // key is a property of the object (`for in` will return non 
    // properties)

    && r.push(k);
    // if it is a property, save to return array

    return r
}
