    It looks like you’re trying to initialize a datepicker when there’s no #datepicker element in DOM yet (the corresponding input follows <script> element, not vice versa).

    As $('#datepicker') will still return a jQuery-wrapped object (not null!), no error will be thrown.

    To solve this, either make this call when DOM is loaded:

    $(function() {
  $('#datepicker').datepicker();
});

    or move this script into very end of <body> element.

    I’d choose the first option; moving all the DOM-ready actions into the same $(function() { ... }); wrapper as well.
