jQuery datepicker not displaying

Im trying to use a jQuery datepicker to select a date, but when I click in the text box, the datepicker does not display.

HTML:

<link href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-lightness/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>

<script>
$(function() {
    $( "#date" ).datepicker();
});
</script>

<body>
    <p>Date: <input type="text" id="date"></p>
</body>

Also, when I inspect the element, it shows up as having a class of hasDatepicker

If your code is indeed executing after the DOM has fully loaded and that is NOT the problem...

Try to remove the .hasDatepicker before executing.

If it's chainable

$("#date").removeClass("hasDatepicker").datepicker();

Otherwise

$("#date").removeClass("hasDatepicker");
$("#date").datepicker();

Your script is likely running before the DOM has fully loaded.

You want to make sure your jQuery executes when the page is ready:

$(document).ready(function() {
  // Run your code here
});
