Why are we getting permission errors when typing to post questions?
Can we no longer add source codes???

Going to try again can seems to post source codes
Just trying to get a blasted date picker to work

This is the scripting:
$('#z').datepicker({
inline: true,
altField: '#d'
});

$('#d').change(function () { $('#z').datepicker('setDate', $(this).val()); });

This is the razor for the mvc
<input type="text" id="d" />
<div id="z"></div>

Hi @App Dev , welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. Is the specific js reference added and loaded without any error? Are you using ASP .NET MVC or ASP .NET Core MVC?

Hi I am using ASP .NET MVC,

I read that If I have multiple version of jquery that will cause the problem but I don't know what that means or even how to tell.
Full transparency here, I don't understand jquery all that well at all. I have tried tutorials and it is just mind scrambling to me.

The site will not let me post my source codes. as it says it's too many characters.. this is crazy

Hi @App Dev ,
According to your codes,you must add datepicker.js.You need to do like this:

<s cript src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></s cript>  
<s cript>  
    $(function () {  
        $('#d').change(function () {  
            $('#z').datepicker('setDate', $(this).val());  
        });  
    })  
</script>  
<h2>Index</h2>  
<input type="text" id="d" />  
<div id="z"></div>  
  
@section scripts  
{  
    @Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/jquery-1.12.4.min.js")  
    @Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/bootstrap.min.js")  
    @Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/bootstrap-datepicker.min.js")  
    @Styles.Render("~/Content/bootstrap.min.css")  
    @Styles.Render("~/Content/bootstrap-datepicker.min.css")  
}

By the way,if you need to post any codes,you could put codes into txt or screenshots to us.
