How do you handle cross-browser inconsistencies in jQuery?

Mid JQuery
Quick Answer jQuery normalizes cross-browser differences: .ready() works consistently, event object properties (event.which, event.target) are normalized, CSS property names handle vendor prefixes in older versions. For truly problematic browsers, use CSS normalization (normalize.css) alongside jQuery. Test with BrowserStack. Modern jQuery 3.x only supports IE11+ and modern browsers.
