using jquery libraries in asp.net user controls

Question

I'm experiencing a strange issue. I'm using JQuery date-picker in my user control. When I try with google hosted libraries, things work nicely.

ie:

 <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"  type="text/javascript"></script>

 <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.5/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Next I downloaded the two libraries added them to my project(asp.net web site). When I reference them and try to run, it doesn't recognize jquery syntax (stops at jquery code and saying $ is not recognized). But intellisense is working.

this is my code:

<script src="../_Scripts/jquery-1.8.2.js" type ="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../_Scripts/jquery-ui.min.js" type ="text/javascript"></script>

<script type ="text/javascript">

 $(function () {
     $("#<%=TextBox1.ClientID%>").datepicker({ dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yyyy' });
  });
 </script>


 <asp:TextBox runat ="server" ID ="TextBox1" Width ="80px"  ></asp:TextBox>

where is it going wrong? Some insight is really appreciated.

src="../_Scripts. Is that the correct location when you are running your application? — user3241191

yes thats what I get when I dragged and dropped on to page. I tried it with only _Scripts/jquery-1.8.2.js but didn't work — voddy

Did you check the console in the browser's dev tools for errors? — Rick S

<script src="<%=ResolveUrl("~/_Scripts/jquery-1.8.2.js") %>" type="text/javascript"></script> Try that and do that to the other one. — user3241191

<script src="<%=ResolveUrl("~/_Scripts/jquery-1.8.2.js") %>" type="text/javascript"></script>

Try that and do that to the other one.
