Just to clarify. I don't mean the libraries are costly. It's the whole process of testing across all browser for compatibility. Using libraries doesn't automatically guarantee that it works in all broswers, as a matter of fact... The worst part is a lot a manpower is required to verify these. If someone feels otherwise and know of any library that simplifies cross browser testing, please let me know.
