Missed this, but the issue here is that you are trying to do bare
bones development. It's about complaining that an API call on Windows
95 works differently from Windows 8.

All these things are, to a very large extend, solved by the frameworks
people use.

Obviously you can try to reinvent the wheel and discover all the
incompatibilities yourself, but if you use a CSS reset style sheet, a
JavaScript framework like jQuery you seldom experience issues of this
kind.
