jQuery UI datepicker datepicker is not a function

Question

When i use DatePicker  jQuery s UI plugin  in an existing  aspx page I get errors that       datepicker   datepicker is not a function   However  when I copy and paste the same code that creates and uses the datePicker to an HTML file that s also in the same directory as the aspx page  it works flawlessly  This leads me to assume that there are some JS files in the aspx page that s preventing the datePicker or maybe jQuery s UI JS files to load properly   Can anyone confirm my beliefs or provide any tips on finding the culprit that s interfering with jQuery s UI plugins

I just ran into a similar issue  When I changed my script reference from self-closing tags  ie   lt script src        gt   to empty nodes  ie   lt script src      gt  lt  script gt   my errors went away and I could suddenly reference the jQuery UI functions   At the time  I didn t realize this was just a brain-fart of me not closing it properly to begin with   I m posting this simply on the chance that anyone else coming across the thread is having a similar issue

If there is another library that is using the   variable  you can do this   var  j   jQuery noConflict     j   datepicker   datepicker      Also make sure your javascript includes are in the correct order so the jquery core library is defined before the jquery ui  I ve had that cause issues

I ran into this problem recently - the issue was that I had included the jQuery UI files in the head tag  but the Telerik library I was using included jQuery at the bottom of the body tag  thus apparently re-initializing jQuery and unloading the UI plugins previously loaded    The solution was to find out where jQuery was actually being included  and including the jQuery UI scripts after that

This error usually appears when you re missing a file from the jQuery UI set    Double-check that you have all the files  the jQuery UI files as well as the CSS and images  and that they re in the correctly linked file directory location on your server

Also check the permissions for the directory you download the files into  For some reason when I downloaded this  by default it was saved in a folder with no access allowed  It took forever to figure out that was the problem  but I just had to change the permission for the directory and it s contents - setting it so EVERYONE   READ ONLY  Works great now

Have you tried using Firebug to 1  determine that there are no Javascript errors and 2  that the  datepicker element exists on the page   Most likely there is an error prior to the datepicker call that is preventing the datepicker call from executing

If you think that there is a conflict you can use jQuery noConflict   in your code  Details are in the docs      REFERENCING MAGIC - SHORTCUTS FOR   JQUERY      If you don t like typing the full    jQuery  all the time  there are some   alternative shortcuts       Reassign jQuery to another shortcut   var  j   jQuery   This might be the   best approach if you wish to use   different libraries  Use the following   technique  which allows you to use     inside of a block of code without   permanently overwriting       function         some code that uses         jQuery       Note  If you use this   technique  you will not be able to use   Prototype methods inside this capsuled   function that expect   to be   Prototype s    so you re making a   choice to use only jQuery in that   block  Use the argument to the DOM   ready event     jQuery function        some code that uses               Note    Again  inside that block you can t use   Prototype methods   Thats from the end of the docs and might be useful to you
