Calendar not showing up in Bootstrap datetimepicker

Question

I am implementing bootstrap datetimepicker with below code:

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-sm-6">
            <div class="form-group">
                <div class="input-group date" id="datetimepicker1">
                    <input type="text" class="form-control" />
                    <span class="input-group-addon">
                        <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span>
                    </span>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

I have included below scripts and styles:

And my output is looking like below:

Order of including files is:

@Styles.Render("~/Content/css")
@Styles.Render("~/Content/Styles/PreLayout.css")

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryui")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/moment")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")
@Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/JavaScripts/PreLayout.js")

When I click on calendar icon nothing happens. What mistake I am making in implementation?

EDIT:

Added fiddler: http://jsfiddle.net/1c1nr9sp/4/

Solution 1

The cause of your issue is, you did not place the reference scripts in correct order.

See the documentation: http://eonasdan.github.io/bootstrap-datetimepicker/Installing/

$('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker();

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.9.0/moment-with-locales.js"></script>

<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class='col-sm-6'>
            <div class="form-group">
                <div class='input-group date' id='datetimepicker1'>
                    <input type='text' class="form-control" />
                    <span class="input-group-addon">
                        <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span>
                    </span>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
        
    </div>
</div>

Solution 2

I had problems using jQuery 3.x. (latest version of Bootstrap 3 supports jQuery 3). The dropdown would partially render but without the calendar. The time picker portion worked ok.

Downgrading to jQuery 2.x fixed the problem.

Solution 3

As far as the messed up spacing between the textbox and calendar icon, I was able to fix that by commenting out the line:

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

My project handles this for me instead. ASP.net/MVC I also changed the col-sm-6 to col-sm-12.

Thanks Vimalan. I replaced my bootstrap datetime js and css with that in your answer's link and it worked. Now I can see calendar. But still I find the selector distorted as given in snapshot in my question. Can you please suggest the reason for that too?

[JGV]

@ATP, I am not able to reproduce the selector distorted issue... one reason could be, the .form-control css could be overridden somewhere in your other css files... It will be helpful if you could update the fiddler which reflects the issue?

[ATP]

Even I can't reproduce that in fiddler. Seems like some local system issue. Thanks for the help. :)

I also had a problem with the files I'd pulled from bower. Something was silently failing. Replaced my references with what you have and it now works. Thanks.

So there's no hope of making it work with jQuery 3.x? I had to upgrade jQuery for using another library and this happened...

@mrrrk Please check your css file once. I was facing same issue. For me, it was display: none.
