what is the reason behind cross browser in compatibility ?

why all browser behave differently for same code ? not most of code but sometime it annoying that some code running well in one browser ex. Mozilla Firefox , not work as it should be at IE(Internet Explorer). IE(Internet Explorer) have most issue with JavaScript or CSS
Browser Version Issues
even browser version also another headache . A JavaScript work with IE 10 , possibly not work with IE 8 , so one need to do extra code so it work with both.

what is the reason all browser don not have same api for JavaScript or Css ?

as a web developer we doing so much for Cross Browser compatibility , so its my right to know who cause it ? is it browser coded so or anything else ?

Certainly! Here's a rewritten version of the answer to avoid duplicate content:

Cross-browser incompatibility is a common issue that arises due to various factors. One of the main reasons behind this is the differences in the way that web browsers implement web standards such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Even though these standards exist, web browsers often have different ways of interpreting and rendering them.

Another reason for cross-browser incompatibility is the varying levels of support for web standards among browsers. Some browsers may support certain features of a standard while others may not. This can lead to incompatibilities when a website relies on a feature that is not supported by a particular browser.

In addition to these reasons, browsers may have their own proprietary features and extensions that are not part of the web standards. These features may be specific to a particular browser or operating system, and can cause incompatibilities when websites rely on them.

Differences in rendering engines and operating systems can also contribute to cross-browser incompatibilities. For example, different operating systems may have different default fonts, which can cause text to display differently across different browsers.

To avoid cross-browser incompatibilities, web developers can use best practices such as testing their code across multiple browsers and versions, using web standards-compliant code, and avoiding proprietary browser features and extensions.
