MVC4 jQuery UI does not work

Question

I cannot get jQuery UI working in my ASP.NET MVC4 application. I tried dialog and datepicker. Here is part of the code of my view.

Answer 1

Your code runs just fine in a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/m3QFL/

Check the console for errors and the path to your scripts. Chrome includes a console to help with js debugging or you can run FireFox and FireBug.

Either one will go a long way in helping you solve issues like this.

Also, hosted versions of jquery and jquery ui are available through jquery and jquery ui or Google. Here are yours:

jquery ui has links at the bottom of their homepage to their hosted versions.

BTW, the // instead of http:// allows the script to pick up the http prefix from the site. If you are on ssl it will pick up the https:// so you don't have secure and non-secure items on your page.
