I have a form located at http://agingoptions.com/life-care-planning-2/ and in the backend i have date picker as the input method and calendar icon checked and the icon is not showing up and the date picker isn't working at all. Any idea what could be causing this? The rest of the form works flawlessly.
Thanks,
Rex
I noticed the necessary javascript is not being output in your source code which means you do not have a standard WordPress function call in the footer.php file of your theme.
The function is wp_footer() and this needs to go in your footer.php file.
You can read more on the wp_footer() function and where exactly you should put it in your footer.php file here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Plugin_API_Hooks
This function call allows plugins to insert code into the footer of your site, which is where Gravity Forms outputs the necessary javascript for the date picker AND conditional logic to work.
Let me know if that does the trick.

Date Picker Calendar is not showing up for me either on my website. http://budgetautoshipping.com.customers.tigertech.net
Please this is very important, one of the main reasons I made the switch to try GForms.
If this issue gets resolved I will be using GForms on all my clients websites, I would purchase the developers license of course.
@Steaprok - The date picker requires a script (datepicker.js) to be loaded to work. This is normally loaded automatically when you use the shortcode to embed the form in a page or post. When you use the form in a sidebar or embed it manually into a page template, you have to enqueue the necessary scripts and CSS to make sure everything works properly.
You'll find the necessary information on the bottom of the documentation page listed below.

You'll also need to make sure you have the correct function calls in your header/footer - wp_head() and wp_footer() as Carl mentioned above so the scripts get included in the page.
I have the wp_footer() in my footer and it still does not work, and I am using the shortcode to insert it into a page. Any suggestions?
@wahhadesign You would have to provide us with a link to the page containing the form. We can't give you suggestions without being able to see the page. If the datepicker isn't working then it's a Javascript issue. It's either going to be caused by the theme not having the proper header and footer calls or it's going to be caused by a Javascript error on the page.

@wahhadesign It appears to be some sort of Javascript issue. I see you are loading jQuery from WordPress but then something else is loading a different version of jQuery UI from Google's API service. You are going to have to test for theme and plugin conflicts. Something else is causing this issue.
You will have to follow the directions here:
