JQUERY - Object doesn't support property or method 'addEventListener' Error

Working on the new site and it works on my laptop for IE but loading from the site in IE it would come up was frozen. Nothing worked. Using the developer tools in IE I saw that I was getting the "Object doesn't support property or method 'addEventListener'" error in jquery. Added the following in the header of the JSP page fixed the problem:

 <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge;" />

Thanks To
