Why is Chrome telling me this function is "not a function"?

I have an immediately invoked JS function that removes all empty paragraphs from a WordPress site I'm working on:

//Remove empty paragraph tags
(function () {
  const pTag = document.querySelectorAll("p");

  pTag.forEach((p) => {
    if (p.innerHTML == "&nbsp;") {
      p.remove();
    }
  });
})();

Using Sentry to track errors, I'm getting TypeError pTag.forEach is not a function on some sessions, others seem to work fine. Am I doing anything wrong?

You must be using an old browser – CertainPerformance Jan 20 '22 at 21:15
@Certain, that wouldn't explain why it works intermittently. – tao Jan 20 '22 at 21:18

@tao Some are using old browsers - others aren't. The error will arise on those using old (or incompatible) browsers – CertainPerformance Jan 20 '22 at 21:19

Yep, just read about what `wp-sentry` is. Sackadelic, the solution is to provide a `.forEach` polyfill. – tao Jan 20 '22 at 21:20
Thank you. I'll do some research into that. – Sackadelic Jan 21 '22 at 13:14
