After struggling for 2 days i am still not able to integrate node+express+boilerplate and a simple JQuery module (Date Picker).

As a final check, i cloned the fresh copy of this project and added the below 4 lines. It failed to show the date prompt which confirmed that the problem isn't at my end. The same 4 lines of code on normal html project works.

I decided to give up on this but there should be a reason why it is not working. I am still not able to figure it out.

Project to clone: https://github.com/mape/node-express-boilerplate

Add these 4 lines to layout.ejs under view directory to head element.
