Problem: datepicker is not showing up at all. No errors in the console. All files are included and accessible via Firebug.
After spending way too much time trying to get the jQuery UI datepicker to work, and that includes reading through dozens of Google results, I need your help. Not even the simplest, plain, straightforward implementation of the datepicker is working for me.
Current example I'm testing (stripped down to nothing but the datepicker):
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>DatePicker Test</title>
<!-- JavaScript -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/jquery/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/jquery/jquery-ui-1.8.19.custom.min.js"></script>
<!--script type="text/javascript" src="../js/jquery/jquery.ui.datepicker.js"></script-->
<!-- Stylesheets -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.8.19.custom.css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div><input type="text" id="datepicker" class="hasDatepicker" /></div>
</body>
</html>
This does NOT work. I've downloaded the entire jQuery UI code (jquery-ui-1.8.19.custom.min.js) and tried everything. I've even tried to add a simple datepicker field to the demo HTML page that comes with jQuery UI. Nothing.
Then I downloaded the developer bundle of jQuery UI, and tried just the datepicker.js with jQuery, but even that failed.
So although I get no errors, and I can see my selector in the code and through calling it up from the console, I just get plain old nothing.
Then I've tried numerous CSS modifications that have been posted in several forum posts, moved my JavaScript from the top to the bottom, after the datepicker . . . and all kinds of mutations, but nothing has worked.
Is it me?
Certainly, it's possible for others to use the datepicker plug-in, what am I doing wrong?
Hey so I looked into your issue. I suggest removing the class declaration in the input that helped me. Also make sure your script links are correct. You are currently asking them to pull from a folder that comes before your current page. If the page and css/js folders are in the same directory you can remove the "../" at the front.
<input type="text" id="datepicker" />
A helpful add-on in FireFox are the Web Developer tools
Check out this js fiddle here for a working example. It's pretty similar to what you are doing minus the class on the input field, aswell as in this case the example is using CDN's.
You must have something wrong (maybe a script or css isn't getting sourced).

I am using jQuery UI to put some widgets on a web page primarily designed for large screens.
I was looking for a flipswitch widget, and I found one provided by jQuery mobile framework.
Is it possible to use jQuery mobile to just make this flipswitch widget work, without the whole jQuery mobile theming ?
You can use jQuery Mobile's widgets by creating a custom build. All you have to do is to choose the widgets you want, and then load JS library as well as style sheets in head. You will also need to modify style sheets, either by modifying them manually or using ThemeRoller.
HTML
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="structure.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="theme.css" />
<script src="jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="custom-build.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<label for="flip-checkbox-1">Flip toggle switch checkbox:</label>
<input type="checkbox" data-role="flipswitch" name="flip-checkbox-1" id="flip-checkbox-1">
</form>
</body>
To initialize the widget, just call .flipswitch() on .ready(). For more methods, check widget's API.
$(function () {
$("#flip-checkbox-1").flipswitch();
});
Demo
I am facing a very strange problem where my javascript code does not run the first time the page is loaded. If I reload/refresh the page, the script runs fine.
After some hit-and-trial's I realized that if I remove the jquery.mobile-1.4.3.min.js library from the previous page (which redirects to my current page) then the script is running as expected.
Can anyone please help on why this is occurring and how can I resolve it ?
Update:
On opening the hpme page (which contains the link to the page containing the JS), I can see the following error in console:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'mobile' of undefined .
Please note that this home page is basically a simple code with library declarations and html links.
Edit :
I had missed the jQuery lib earlier and hence the Uncaught TypeError.
Now, my libraries are in the following order :
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquerymobile/1.4.3/jquery.mobile.min.js"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquerymobile/1.4.3/jquery.mobile.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.1/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" />
Now there are no errors in my console, but still the JS in the next page does not run in the first load. Oddly, if I remove the jquery.mobile-1.4.3.min.js library, the JS works fine.
Single Page Model
jQuery Mobile loads external pages via Ajax; when you have a link to another page, jQM loads first page div <div data-role="page"> in that page and neglects other tags outside that div.
If you have JS code that you want to run in the loaded page, you have to place it inside page div.
<div data-role="page">
<!-- JS code -->
</div>
I'm working on a jQueryMobile application with some form fields that need auto complete functionality. I'm working with jQueryUi Autocomplete plugin but can't get it to work properly. It works fine if my form is the initial page loaded in the browser but doesn't work if the form is loaded later via the jQueryMobile ajax loading mechanism.
The versions I'm working with are:
jQueryMobile: 1.0a4.1
jQueryUi: 1.8.9
jQuery: 1.4.4
My auto complete function looks like this:
$(function () {
$('#search').autocomplete({
source: '/Autocomplete/SearchAutoComplete',
minLength: 3,
select: function (event, ui) { }
});
});
My thinking is that this needs to be wired up to the current active page but I'm not sure how to do this. Can someone let me know how to accomplish this?
Also, I'm not tied to the jQueryUi autocomplete solution. If there is a better way to do this, please let me know.
Thanks,
Greg
Now that JQuery Mobile has matured quite a bit and is getting close to it's 1.0 release, I decided to take another stab at getting this to work properly. I've had good success so I'd like to share the solution here.
Here are the versions I am now currently working with (as of 01-Feb-2012):
jQuery Mobile 1.0.1
jQuery 1.6.4
jQuery UI 1.8.12
The order in which the scripts are referenced is critical. It needs to be jQuery, jQuery UI, jQuery Mobile, then your custom script file last. My page head looks like this:
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, minimum-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" />
<title>My jQM App</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.mobile/1.0.1/jquery.mobile-1.0.1.min.css" />
<script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.6.4.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.8.12/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.mobile/1.0.1/jquery.mobile-1.0.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/script.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/Content/style.css" />
</head>
All of the autocomplete code should be in a separate .js file and should be the last file linked to. In this sample, mine is script.js.
Next, make sure that all of your page div's (data-role='page') also have an id set. For example, on my search page I have
<div data-role="page" id="searchPage">
Now that all the page div have id's you can bind to the jQuery Mobile pagecreate event for that div. In a standard jQuery page you would have something like this for the autocomplete:
$('#search').autocomplete({
source: '/Autocomplete/SearchAutoComplete',
minLength: 3,
select: function (event, ui) { }
});
To do the equivalent but have it hooked up to the specific page div looks like this:
$('#searchPage').live('pageinit', function (event) {
$('#search').autocomplete({
source: '/Autocomplete/SearchAutoComplete',
minLength: 3,
select: function (event, ui) { }
});
});
This has been working well for me so far. I've been able to strip out most of data-ajax="false" attributes I had in place as a workaround. This, in turn, has resulted in better application performance. I have by no means done an exhaustive compatibility test between jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile so your mileage may vary. Please leave a comment here if you run into any problems with this method. Good luck.
For future reference I recently released an autoComplete plugin written specifically for use with jQuery Mobile:
http://www.andymatthews.net/code/autocomplete/
$('div').live('pagebeforecreate',function(event,ui){
// do something in jquery
});
I have done a bunch of searching. The jQuery UI autocomplete sort of works for modifying a typing text box. The jQuery Mobile filter search box simulates an autocompete but I really didn't find it very useful for use with an actual data collection form.
This article got me started using the jQuery UI autocomplete but I kept runing into formatting problems. I ended up writing my own ajax only (at the moment) autocomplete and thought I would share it. The source is there for you to tweak as you see fit. Maybe someone can take it and improve it or just use it as it stands.
http://schworak.com/blog/e75/jquery-mobile---autocomplete-text-input/
I'm not sure if it is applicable in your case but a workaround would be to add the data-ajax="false" attribute to prevent the page to be loaded by ajax.
http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0a4.1/#docs/pages/link-formats.html
jQuery Mobile now has autocomplete, where the results are populated in a listview. Their demo page has great examples on how to implement it, for both local and remote data.
I recently released an autoComplete component with zero-dependency. (no-jQuery)
This completely support most mobile browser like Android, iOS.

I'm just trying to set up an input with datepicker and I'm getting the following error: "Object doesn't support this property or method".
I downloaded the JQueryUI without a theme and there is my head section of the master page:
<link href="/Content/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="/Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.min.js" type="text/javascript" />
<script src="/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.8.5.custom.min.js" type="text/javascript" />
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ScriptContent" runat="server" />
After that, I created an input text inside a partial view (that remains inside a view):
<input type="text" id="txtDataIda" />
And at the beggining of this partial view:
$(function() {
$("#txtDataIda").datepicker();
});
When I open the page, the error is shown and the datepicker won't work.
I suppose I must be doing something wrong since I've never got the chance to work with JQueryUI before.
Thanks in advance!
You should go to http://jqueryui.com/download and build a custom download with the features that you want. Then, just reference the 2 files (jquery-1.4.2.js, jquery-ui-1.8.5.custom.min.js) in the "js" folder and not all of the files in the "development-bundle" folder. Then, you don't have to worry about multiple files conflicting. I have a feeling that the .widget, .datepicker, and 1.8.custom files may be conflicting. But, if it's all in one custom file, then you don't have to worry about that.
Or if you're not using any other ui features, you could try referencing only the jquery-1.4.2.js, ui.core.js, ui.datepicker.js files to see if that works without conflict.
And, of course, double check that you've put the references in the correct master page that is being used.
Fixed!
The JQuery wasn't being loaded, because the script tag was self closing. When I changed it to , it worked, as bizarre as it seems.
Thanks!
On a skeleton ASP.MVC that Visual Studio creates, I add a script tag to my head section in Site.Master:
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
This causes the page to not render. In my case, I had a custom controllerfactory and the base method GetControllerInstance threw an exception:
The controller for path
'/~/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js' could not
be found or it does not implement
IController.
Using "../../Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js" for the src does not work either.
The only way it works is:
<script src="<%= Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js") %>"
type="text/javascript"></script>
Then of course, the intellisense does not work for jquery. So I have to resort to adding the hack:
<% if (false) { %>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<% } %>
which the hotfix was supposed to fix according to ScottGu
A line above is a link to a stylesheet:
<link href="~/Content/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
For some reason, that works fine. Whether I use the virtual or relative path, I can see that the resulting url on the page is "Content/Site.css". The same can't be said for the jquery url. jquery link is returned as is - the jquery url is returned on the page containing the "~" or the "../..".
Can someone tell me what is going on?
Thanks
UPDATE:
Thanks to the commenters, I remembered that ~ is an asp.net thing. My only question is then why doesn't the same issue exist for the stylesheet? The link tag above, for example, I can put ~ or relative paths and it always comes out right. Where is the magic?
Have you tried without the ~:
<script src="/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
The ~ character is used only by server side processing scripts indicating the root of the web site. The reason:
<script src="<%= Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js") %>" type="text/javascript"></script>
works is because it is translated to:
<script src="/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
The "~" is not supported within standard HTML - it is an ASP.NET shortcut. So you've either got to do it the way you specified in your OP and the hack for intellisense, or as Darin specified but then you lose the ability to automatically pick up your VRoot.
I don't know for sure, but maybe MVC is smart enough to not include CSS files in the routing.
