What does this code do?

Question

i wonder what does this do? Since i did put date picker on my site, and the coding provide with this <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" /> code. The date picker provide 2 ways to choose date which is from the calendar itself and from drop down menu. So far I have no problem to pick date using calendar. The problem if i removed this code (<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />), my date won't changed according to the value selected. But once i add back the coding, i can get my date using drop down list but it's only work on IE, not in Chrome. I just wonder if there's any way for me to make sure the calendar work fine in IE and Chrome using date picker from drop-down list and calendar.

Please advice. Thanks.

what i understand that when i put this tag, it will read my code just like i'm using IE7, but since i'm using IE9, so when i remove that tag, maybe some coding for the date picker not supported by IE9. http://www.iiadesign.com/calendar/calendar_datepicker.php.htm i'm using the date picker with 3 drop down menus.. — Misz Jieha, Sep 19 '13 at 14:32
I would therefore pick another date time picker. Many exist, many exist in jQuery. If they work, you know your existing ones have issues with IE. — Arran, Sep 19 '13 at 14:38

X-UA-Compatible specifies the version of IE which your page has been designed for. There is a topic on StackOverflow describing this meta attribute, it may helps you

Try using it this way - < meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge,chrome=1">

Care to go into a little more detail? The question seems to be "what's going on" as much as "how do I fix it". – user1618143 Dec 03 '13 at 17:37
