I'm really new to creating/editing HTML and after watching a ton of Treehouse Vids, I've started to tinker with creating my own page.

Not being very familiar with meta tags I pulled a few from a template I recently purchased. After running my my code through the W3C Markup Validator it came back with the following:

"Bad value X-UA-Compatible for attribute http-equiv on element meta" in reference to the following:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1">

Based on the above I have a few questions?

Is this something that's just outdated, or is it incorrect..... or other?
What website do you recommend for finding the needed/recommended Meta information?
Unrelated: What website do you recommend for finding the needed/recommended browser compatibility code?

Thanks :)

That's the meta tag to force Chrome Frame in Internet Explorer. It's probably not valid because it's something custom Google have developed

You could send this header in your .htaccess instead
It will still come up with a warning but no error

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header set X-UA-Compatible "IE=Edge,chrome=1"
    <FilesMatch "\.(js|css|gif|png|jpe?g|pdf|xml|oga|ogg|m4a|ogv|mp4|m4v|webm|svg|svgz|eot|ttf|otf|woff|ico|webp|appcache|manifest|htc|crx|xpi|safariextz|vcf)$" >
      Header unset X-UA-Compatible
    </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
