You could shim it simply...

if ($("").prop("required") === undefined) {
    $(document).on("submit", function(event) {
         $(this)
           .find("input, select, textarea")
           .filter("[required]")
           .filter(function() { return this.value; })
           .each(function() {
               // Handle them.
           });
    });
}
