I had several issues: 1. Will pointed out that I had my periods confused. 2. Grzegorz is also right that I needed to use querySelector instead of getElementById. 3. Placement of the js loading needed to be moved bellow the /body line.

It seems the item you are looking for does not exist. You entered the wrong id, or you wanted to use querySelector instead of getElementById

I'd like to see a snippet of this if you have time.

Anyway, could it be as simple as removing the . symbol from your getElementById?

document.getElementById('datepicker-with-filter');

Or changing the code to:

document.querySelector('.datepicker-with-filter');
