Having some trouble with a datepicker on a datatable. Ive set up two test date selectors at the top of the page and they work fine.
My problem is however when I choose '{type:"date-range"} in my aoColumns I get an error telling me that from.datepicker() is not a function.
Ive tried all other types of filters(select, number-range etc) and all are working correctly with the exception of date-range.
Can anyone help me with why my JavaScript seems to break down using type:”date-range”. I cant seem to figure out why it wont work like the example shown here http://jquery-datatables-column-filter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/dateRange.html
Below is code
<body>
<div id="content">
</div><div id='assignments_view'>
<h1>Assignments</h1><br/>
From:<input type="text" name="start_date" value="" id="dateStart" placeholder="start Date" /><br/>
To:<input type="text" name="end_date" value="" id="dateEnd" placeholder="End Date" /><br/>
<button id = "addNewAssignmentButton">Add New Assignment</button>
<div id="assignmentTableDiv">
<table id="assignmentTable" class="fht-table" >
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Basic Information</th>
<th>Submitter</th>
<th>Status</th>
<th>Area</th>
<th>Start Date</th>
<th>End Date</th>
<th>Shopping Cart</th>
<th>Purchase Order</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class = "assignmentRow" ondblclick="document.location = 'assignments/load_individual_assignment_view/21 '">
<td>Test assignment</td>
<td>basic Info for test assignment</td>
<td class = 'status'>review</td>
<td>2013-01-08</td>
<td>2013-01-01</td>
</tr>

Solved. The two scripts of 1.8.2 were conflicting and causing jQuery datepicker not to work. I just had to remove one script and leave just one version of 1.8.2.min at the bottom of the page.
