try adjusting the order in which your script runs  Place the script tag below the element it is trying to affect  Or leave it up at the top and wrap it in a   document  ready   EDIT  and include the right file

For me   the problem was that the anchor needs a title  and that was missing

If jQuery UI datepicker isn t working but it used to work on similar DOM earlier  try removing all the classes and try binding it to just a simple input with its id  In my case a class was interfering with it and preventing the date picker to appear

Datepicker is not part of jQuery  You have to get jQuery UI to use the datepicker

The problem is you are not linking to the jQuery UI library  which is where datepicker resides    http   jsfiddle net 5AkyC      lt html xmlns  http   www w3 org 1999 xhtml  xml lang  en  lang  en  gt   lt head gt   lt link rel  stylesheet  type  text css  href  style css  media  screen    gt   lt script type  text javascript  src  http   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 1 4 2 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt   lt script type  text javascript  src  https   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jqueryui 1 8 9 jquery-ui js  gt  lt  script gt   lt script gt    function              datepicker    datepicker         lt  script gt   lt  head gt   lt body gt       lt div class  demo  gt       lt p gt Date   lt input type  text  id  datepicker  gt  lt  p gt       lt  div gt  lt  -- End demo -- gt   lt  body gt   lt  HTML gt

I was stuck on an issue where datepicker   appeared to be doing nothing   It turned out that the issue was that the input was inside a Bootstrap  input-group  div   Simply taking the input out of the input-group resolved the issue
