datepicker from jQuery UI

Hi

I'm struggling to get the jQuery UI datepicker working in Purity III.

I checked the documentation at: http://jqueryui.com/datepicker/

And used the code provided there:

 

$(function() {

$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();

});





Date: 

in
and also made sure i had the right JS libraries and CSS -> added jquery-ui.js and jquery-ui.css in Purity III directories for JS and CSS respectively and also added the code in head.php, and relied on Joomla's jquery.min.js

I tested on a standalone .HTML file and worked fine. But when adding the code to a Custom HTML module in Joomla (without editor) doesn't work

any direction would be appreciated, thanks!
