HTML 5.00 not supported in ASP.net

Issue

I have used the following code for picking a date:

<asp:TextBox ID="txtDLP" runat="server" Width="153px" type="date"></asp:TextBox> 

Everything is okay with this. But while it is rendering with Internet Explorer/ Mozilla, it just shows a textbox. This must be happened for version conflict of browser or for unsupported features of html.

What is the way to make this tag compatible with all versions of browsers(specially internet Explorer)?

Solution

When using ASP.NET WebForms, the easiest way of having a TextBox with date selection is by using the CalendarExtender control of AjaxControlToolkit.

The library was originally built by Microsoft, but development has been taken over by DevExpress.

NuGet is available here.
