jQuery UI DatePicker: without any styling, no picking dates

I'm struggling to configure a jQuery UI DatePicker. I moved the development-bundle folder contents to the directory res/jqueryui and initialized two datepickers as shown below:

<script src="res/jquery-2.1.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="res/jqueryui/ui/minified/jquery-ui.custom.min.js"></script>
<script src="res/jqueryui/ui/minified/jquery.ui.datepicker.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="res/jqueryui/themes/blitzer/minified/jquery.ui.datepicker.min.css">
<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $( "#from" ).datepicker();
        $( "#to" ).datepicker();
        $( "#from" ).datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", $( this ).val() );
        $( "#to" ).datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", $( this ).val() );
    });
</script>

When I click on a datepicker field, the datepicker pops up but without any styles. However, if I link the stylesheet to

http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css
, the styles work fine. Why is that?

Additionally, when I select a date in the datepicker, the field value does not update. There are no JavaScript errors reported. What could be causing this issue?

It's worth noting that I'm not utilizing the bundled jQuery file (jquery-1.10.2.js), yet switching to it doesn't resolve these problems.

Answer №1

To resolve the issue with CSS, I tackled it by downloading a tailored jQuery UI package and only uploading the main .js file and .css file (inclusive of images). These files were then referenced in the HTML source code as seen below:

<script src="res/jquery-2.1.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="res/jquery-ui-1.10.4.custom.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="res/jqueryui-css-blitzer/jquery-ui-1.10.4.custom.min.css">

Moreover, to fix the date selection problem, I made sure to specify the correct date format instead of relying on $( this ).val(), which was originally from the date formats example. Here is the corrected code snippet for reference:

$( "#from" ).datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", 'yy-mm-dd' );
$( "#to" ).datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", 'yy-mm-dd' );
