Datepicker not showing proper field

[Alex A]

I'm using Rails version 3.2 and Ruby 1.9.3

I'm trying to make within a form_tag a datepicker field. In my GemFile I have added gem 'jquery-rails' and gem 'jquery_datepicker'. In the rails console I have used the command: rails generate jquery:install --ui

Application.js looks like this:

// This is a manifest file that'll be compiled into application.js, which will include all the files
// listed below.
//
// Any JavaScript/Coffee file within this directory, lib/assets/javascripts, vendor/assets/javascripts,
// or vendor/assets/javascripts of plugins, if any, can be referenced here using a relative path.
//
// It's not advisable to add code directly here, but if you do, it'll appear at the bottom of the
// the compiled file.
//
// WARNING: THE FIRST BLANK LINE MARKS THE END OF WHAT'S TO BE PROCESSED, ANY BLANK LINE SHOULD
// GO AFTER THE REQUIRES BELOW.
//
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require jquery_ui
//= require jquery-ui-timepicker-addon.js
//= require_tree .

Application.css:

/*
 * This is a manifest file that'll be compiled into application.css, which will include all the files
 * listed below.
 *
 * Any CSS and SCSS file within this directory, lib/assets/stylesheets, vendor/assets/stylesheets,
 * or vendor/assets/stylesheets of plugins, if any, can be referenced here using a relative path.
 *
 * You're free to add application-wide styles to this file and they'll appear at the top of the
 * compiled file, but it's generally better to create a new file per style scope.
 *
 *= require_self
 *= require_tree .
 *= require_jquery.ui.datepicker
*/

And in the view:

<%= form_tag url: {action: 'do_something'} do |f| %>
		<%= text_field_tag :birth_date, '', :class => "datepicker" %>
		<%= submit_tag "Do something man!"%>
		<% end %>

What's the proper calling of datepicker function for form_tag?

I think you have to add script for datepicker

Just like below

$(function() {

    $(".date_picker").datepicker({

      dateFormat : 'd M, yy',

      minDate : 0,

      maxDate : +90

    });

  });
