How to find the max/min of a nested array in javascript?

Question

I want to find the maximum of a nested array, something like this:

a = [[1,2],[20,3]]
d3.max(d3.max(a)) // 20

but my array contains a text

Use this:

function arrmax(arrs) {
    var toplevel = [];

    var f = function(v) {
        return !isNaN(v);
    };

    for (var i = 0, l = arrs.length; i

or better:

function arrmax(arrs) {
    if (!arrs || !arrs.length) return undefined;
    var max = Math.max.apply(window, arrs[0]), m,
        f = function(v){ return !isNaN(v); };
    for (var i = 1, l = arrs.length; imax) max=m;
    }
    return max;
}

See MDN for Array.filter method details.
