date type IE-11 limitation

Working in MVC project and using different browser's, I ran into this issue with the date picker supported natively in Chrome but not in IE.


@Stephen Muecke pointed the reason of the problem:

Refer comparision here. The type="date" attribute is not supported in either IE-11 or FireFox-38 so you're out of luck for the time being.

@section Scripts {
    /* ... */
    <script type="text/javascript">
        /* ... */
        if (!Modernizr.inputtypes.date) {
            $('.datepicker').datepicker();
        }
    });

</script>
