How to use Bootstrap datetime control

Question

I need to use datetime picker control in my MVC 4 application. For that, I have installed bootstrap 3-datetimepicker nuget package and below related files are referred.

<link href="Content/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />    
<link href="Content/bootstrap-datetimepicker.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<!--renamed - .less file to .css and referred here !>
<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="Scripts/bootstrap.js"></script>    
<script src="Scripts/bootstrap-datetimepicker.min.js"></script>

Html code:

     <div class="container">
      <div class="row">
        <input type="text" id="dpicker" class="form-control" />
       </div>
     </div>

JS code:

$(function() {
  $("#dpicker").datetimepicker({ format: 'mm-dd-yyyy' });
});

Though, on click of textbox no date picker is open.

What is the issue in above code to use bootstrap date time picker control ?

Thanks

Answer 1

Add date class to input first parent, i.e: <div class='row date'>.

Then it will work.

Here is working snippet

$(function(){
$('#dpicker').datepicker({
    format: 'mm-dd-yyyy'
});
});

 <div class="container">
      <div class="row date">
        <input type="text" id="dpicker" class="form-control" />
       </div>
     </div>
