44,468 PointsGetting Bootstrap Datepicker to Display Properly
I am trying to get the Bootstrap Datepicker to appear properly, but all that displays is a narrow box. No calendar. And I feel that my code matches James' in the tutorial.
I am working in Visual Studio 2017 for Mac, not sure if that may have some effect, since I've had to figure out several work arounds already.
Anyone have any ideas as to why it's not working? Thanks in advance.
Here is my code:
_Layout.cshtml
@{
var applicationName = "Fitness Frog";
}
@helper GetAddEntryButtonVisibility()
{
if ((string)ViewContext.RouteData.Values["controller"] == "Entries" &&
(string)ViewContext.RouteData.Values["action"] == "Add")
{
<text>hidden</text>
}
else
{
<text>visible</text>
}
}

44,468 PointsThanks Nevena! I didn't think of that.
I'll have to go back to that project and try the Datepicker with the jQuery version in the video.
Do you happen to know if there's a working jQuery Datepicker for the updated dependency version(s)? I might also look for an alternative Datepicker tool, because I would hate for the jQuery dependency to stay that far behind.

4,419 PointsI am using the <script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script> version and it still does not work for me. When I downloaded the zip file it does not contain a boostrap-datepicker.min.js file.. only the boostrap-datepicker.js
is this why my date picker isn't being displayed? because I dont have the right min.js file?

5,817 PointsI had the same problem
The problem is that you have updated the jQuery dependencies to version 3.1.1. You have to use 1.10.2 (the one used in the video) if you want it to work.
Hope this helps!
