Troubleshooting: Datepicker not appearing in Bootstrap

Here is the detailed markup for the datepicker component:

<div class="form-group row">
  <div class="col-xs-3 col-md-offset-9">
    <label class="control-label">Pick Date</label>
    <div class="input-group date" id="dp3" data-date="12-02-2012" data-date-format="mm-dd-yyyy">
      <input class="form-control" type="text" readonly="" value="12-02-2012">
      <span class="input-group-addon"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></i></span>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

This is how it currently appears:

Despite including the necessary CSS and JS files, clicking on the calendar icon does not display the expected table-like date picker. Here are the file references:

<link href="css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="css/datepicker.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script type="text/javascript"src="js/jquery-2.0.3.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"src="js/bootstrap.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"src="js/bootstrap-datepicker.js"></script>

I have attempted to initialize the datepicker function both in the <head></head> section and at the end of the <body></body>, but there is still no response upon clicking the button.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
 $("#dp3").datepicker({ autoclose: true, todayHighlight: true });
});

$(window).on('load',function(){
 $("#dp3").datepicker({ autoclose: true, todayHighlight: true });
});
</script>

There were some modifications made to the CSS and JS code due to the updated Bootstrap 3 framework. Source:

If anyone has a solution to ensure that a table-like datepicker displays upon clicking the calendar button, your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I encountered a similar issue where the jQuery code was targeting the 'input' ID instead of the container div, causing the datepicker to not work when clicking on the glyphicon button.

You can view a working example on jsfiddle here: jsfiddle

The jsfiddle code snippet includes references to jQuery 2.0.2 and external resources tab in the jsFiddle editor:

   http://jsfiddle.net/Lro8kxjx/6/

<div class="col-xs-6 ">
<div class="form-group ">
    <div class='input-group date' id='datepicker'>
        <input type="text" id="processdate" class="form-control" placeholder="Processing Date..." name="processdate" /> <span class="input-group-addon btn"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></i> </span>
    </div>
</div>

$(document).ready(function () {
$('#datepicker').datepicker({
    startDate: '-180d',
    endDate: '+1d',
    autoclose: true
});  });
