BootStrap : Uncaught TypeError: $(…).datetimepicker is not a function

Question

I have just started off with BootStrap, however stranded with Uncaught TypeError: $(...).datetimepicker is not a function error message. Could someone let me know what went missing with this code?

Since then, have referred to multiple similar questions but to no avail.

Any guidance would be noteworthy

You're loading bootstrap-datepicker but using datetimepicker. These are two seperate packages. — h2ooooooo
It's $( ... ).datepicker({ options }). Read bootstrap-datepicker.readthedocs.org/en/latest (it's also on the project readme) — Amelia
@Andy nope, I'm using that project in BS3 as I type this, and it's most definitely datepicker. - That repo contains both 2 and 3 code. — Amelia
Are you using http://eonasdan.github.io/bootstrap-datetimepicker/Installing/? — lshettyl
@h2ooooooo - Error is no more showing now. Could you please help me now to realign the date-picker text box so that it goes in tandem with the previous row text-box. — mindfreak

You are using datetimepicker when it should be datepicker. As per the docs. Try this and it should work.

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(function () {
    $('#datetimepicker9').datepicker({
      viewMode: 'years'
    });
  });
 </script>
