Jquery UI Datepicker not displaying

UPDATE
I have reverted back to Jquery 1.3.2 and everything is working, not sure what the problem is/was as I have not changed anything else apart of the jquery and ui library versions.
UPDATE END

I having an issue with the JQuery UI datepicker. The datepicker is being attached to a class and that part is working but the datepicker is not being displayed.

Here is the datepicker code I am using and the inline style that is being generated when I click in the input box that has the class ".datepicker". 

$('.datepicker').datepicker({dateFormat:'dd/mm/yy'});

display:none;
left:418px;
position:absolute;
top:296px;
z-index:1;

If I change the display:none to display:block the datepicker works fine except it dosen't close when I select a date.

Jquery libraries in use:

  • jQuery JavaScript Library v1.4.2
  • jQuery UI 1.8 jQuery UI Widget 1.8
  • jQuery UI Mouse 1.8 jQuery UI
  • Position 1.8 jQuery UI Draggable 1.8
  • jQuery UI Droppable 1.8 jQuery UI
  • Datepicker 1.8
Solution

  • it's the css file in the new one doesn't work. Try to include the old 1.7.* css file on your header too, and try again.

    Also, did you try to do a .datepicker( "show" ) right after it constructed?
