jquery UI: Datepicker does not appear

Question

For some unknown reasons DAta Picker is not appearing on the Browser. I cam calling an HTML file via Ajax which itself has a document.ready() function. On clicking the date field, it does generate the necessary HTML but it does not show anything on the screem. Following code is being generated when I click on Date Field(Got via Chrome Inspector):

<div id="ui-datepicker-div" class="ui-datepicker ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-helper-clearfix ui-corner-all ui-helper-hidden-accessible" style="left: 55px; top: 225px; position: absolute; display: block; "><div class="ui-datepicker-header ui-widget-header ui-helper-clearfix ui-corner-all"><a class="ui-datepicker-prev ui-corner-all" onclick="DP_jQuery.datepicker._adjustDate('#datepicker', -1, 'M');" title="Prev"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-circle-triangle-w">Prev</span></a><a class="ui-datepicker-next ui-corner-all" onclick="DP_jQuery.datepicker._adjustDate('#datepicker', +1, 'M');" title="Next"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-circle-triangle-e">Next</span></a><div class="ui-datepicker-title"><span class="ui-datepicker-month">April</span> <span

You have probably wrong urls. try these.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
  <head>
    <title></title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/themes/base/jquery.ui.all.css" type="text/css" media="screen">
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.18/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

  </head>
  <body>
      <input type="text" id="datepicker" />

      <script>
            $( "input" ).datepicker();
      </script>      
  </body>
</html>

After loading the <input> field with an AJAX request, you have to call datepicker() on it. You can do this, by subscribing to the AJAX success event with .ajaxSuccess: jQuery .ajaxSuccess() function

P.S.: Do not mix scripts with HTML. It's not the way you want to follow. You want to keep all your Javascript in .js files. When the document loads, you add your functionality to elements. When you load new content by AJAX call, you attach events or widgets to new elements.
