Bootstrap 3 Datepicker doesn't show calendar

I've included the following in my page:

In the <head>

<!-- Latest compiled and minified CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<!-- Optional theme -->
<!--<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">-->

<!-- HTML5 shim and Respond.js for IE8 support of HTML5 elements and media queries -->
<!-- WARNING: Respond.js doesn't work if you view the page via file:// -->
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
  <script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/html5shiv/3.7.2/html5shiv.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/respond/1.4.2/respond.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

<!-- Latest compiled and minified jQuery Core -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

Bottom of <body>

<!-- Moments.js minified CDN -->
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.10.3/moment.min.js"></script>

<!-- Bootstrap datepicker -->
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.4.0/js/bootstrap-datepicker.min.js"></script>

Then I used jQuery to turn my form's input field into the datepicker:

<div class="form-group">
    <div class='input-group date' id='datetimepicker1'>
        <input type='text' class="form-control" />
        <span class="input-group-addon">
            <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span>
        </span>
    </div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker();
    });
</script>

The input field got styled like a date picker(field with a calendar icon at the end), but when I click anywhere on that field or the icon the calendar doesn't show up.

I've re-read the Installation tutorial but I don't see anything missing.

Add datetimepicker1 To <input type='text' class="form-control" id="datetimepicker1" />

and $('#datetimepicker1').datepicker(); not $('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker();

Wokring here :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Document</title>
    <!-- Latest compiled and minified CSS -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/css/bootstrap.min.css">
    <!-- Optional theme -->
    <!--<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">-->
</head>
<body>


<div class="form-group">
    <div class='input-group date' >
        <input type='text' class="form-control" id="datetimepicker1" />
        <span class="input-group-addon">
            <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span>
        </span>
    </div>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $('#datetimepicker1').datepicker();
    });
</script>
</body>
</html>

Replace

  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.4.0/js/bootstrap-datepicker.min.js"></script>

By

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datetimepicker/4.14.30/js/bootstrap-datetimepicker.min.js"></script>

You should get TypeError: $(...).datetimepicker is not a function in the browser console.

Because you include only datepicker not datetimepicker.

if you opened the browser console,you would have seen an exception error in the console,like bootstrap JS requires jquery or so

<!-- Latest compiled and minified jQuery Core -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/js/bootstrap.min.js">    </script>

this should work
