title: MVC4 DataType.Date EditorFor won't display date value in Chrome, fine in Internet Explorer
body: <p>I'm using the DataType.Date attribute on my model and an EditorFor in my view. This is working fine in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_8" rel="noreferrer">Internet&nbsp;Explorer&nbsp;8</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_9" rel="noreferrer">Internet&nbsp;Explorer&nbsp;9</a>, but in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome" rel="noreferrer">Google Chrome</a> it is showing a date picker and instead of displaying the value it just displays "Month/Day/Year" in faded gray text.</p>
  
  <p>Why won't Google Chrome display the value?</p>
  
  <p>Model:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[DataType(DataType.Date)]
  public Nullable&lt;System.DateTime&gt; EstPurchaseDate { get; set; }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>View:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;td class="fieldLabel"&gt;Est. Pur. Date&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td class="field"&gt;@Html.EditorFor(m=&gt;m.EstPurchaseDate)&lt;/td&gt;
  </code></pre>
