Datepicker jquery no view

[eluser]Zimooon[/eluser]
i managed it to view the popup.

now another problem

Code:

[removed]
    $(function() {
        $("#date").datepicker();
    });
    [removed]

For this:

<input type="text" id="date" name="date" > -> works

<?php echo form_input('date'); ?> -> dont work

Biggest thing is that the date of the html form above doesnt get write to my database.
php form does but dont get the jsplugin.
