evt.dataTransfer.files are NOT ARRAYS

 Today I have learned that evt.dataTransfer.files are not Arrays , they are Objects
And to iterate through them you must call

Array.prototype.forEach

So I was doing my homework today and to my suprise , I got an error iterating over evt.dataTransfer.files .  Like what in the world is going on . Turns out , its not an array its an Object . TO iterate through them you must use Array.prototype.forEach.call . Good thing Ive watched the
TutsPlus - JavaScript Fundamentals 101  . A life saver ,.


dropContainer.addEventListener('drop',function(evt){
    evt.stopPropagation();
    evt.preventDefault();
    Array.prototype.forEach.call(evt.dataTransfer.files, function (currentData) {
        alert(currentData.name);
    });
    filereader = new FileReader;
    filereader.onload = function(){

    }
    //read the files
    // prepare ajax content
});
