PrimeFaces datepicker popup not showing - primefaces

I have copy-pasted the Datepicker example (html + bean) from PrimeFaces showcase (https://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/input/datePicker.xhtml), BUT the popup does not show on my application for any of the examples (it shows ok at showcase, so it's not a browser problem).
clicking on p:calendar gives this error :
now, clicking/refreshing around like a madman I somehow managed to get the popups showing...but I found these errors in console :
Do you have any ideas what is going on? Thank you.
Edit1 :
I'm trying to make a date range filter in PrimeFaces p:dataTable using p:datePicker widget.
The problem is - the datePicker popup is hidden behind p:dataTable rows.

<f:convertDateTime pattern="dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm"/>
</p:outputLabel>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
</p:outputPanel>
</html>
Question #1: How do I display Datepicker reliably?
Question #2: How do I show the Datepicker popup in front of the Datatable rows?
Thank you

the JQuery errors and datepicker not showing was because my <head> element did not contain datepicker.js.jsf resource
<script type="text/javascript" src="/javax.faces.resource/datepicker/datepicker.js.jsf?ln=primefaces&v=7.0"/>
the datepicker overlay was fixed by adding appendTo="#(body)"
thank you!

p:selectOneMenu Rendering Weird

Following the instructions given on the PrimeFaces getting-started page, I am seeing an odd rendering from SelectOneMenu. It doesn't look the way I'd expect. Does anyone know why?
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:body>
<h:form>
<p:selectOneMenu id ="selectOneMenuCategorie" value="#{selectOneController.categorieSelected}" >
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Select One" noSelectionOption="true"/>
<f:selectItems value="#{selectOneController.categorieList}"
var = "c" itemLabel="#{c.libelle}" itemValue="#{c}"/>
<f:ajax render="selected_item1"/>
</p:selectOneMenu>
<h:outputText id="selected_item1" value="#{selectOneController.categorieSelected.libelle}"></h:outputText>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
You should add
<h:head>
</h:head>
tag to your xhtml page.
The <h:head> is a JSF component which provides a hook to programmatically include JavaScript and CSS resources in the generated HTML <head>. PrimeFaces uses it to include the necessary JS/CSS code for the Ajax works and fancy look'n'feel.
As a test, create a page with a <h:head> and a PrimeFaces component, open the page in the webbrowser and check the generated HTML source by rightclick - View Source. You'll see that several JSF and PrimeFaces specific JS/CSS files are been added. Now replace <h:head> by <head> and check the generated HTML source once again, you'll see nothing this time.

Primefaces: Menuitem (or button) does not work in Internet Explorer after update

I am experiencing some weird behavior with menu items on updated components. My sample JSF page looks as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:head/>
<h:body>
<h:form id="form">
<p:menubar id="menubar" widgetVar="menubar">
<p:menuitem value="Select me" onclick="alert('Menu item selected')"/>
</p:menubar>
<p:commandButton value="Update menubar" update="menubar"/>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
When I run this in Internet Explorer 11 and click on "Update menubar", the menu item no longer functions, i.e. the alert is not displayed, and the URL in the address bar changes from ..../test.xhtml to ..../test.xhtml#.
When I run the same with Firefox, everything works nicely, i.e. even after an update of the menubar via a button click, the menu item still displays the alert.
Is this behavior an IE bug? Or is it supposed to work that way? Is there a workaround for the IE behavior?
Edit:
The problematic sample can be further reduced; the same problem arises in a form that consist solely of two buttons, with one updating the other, causing it to stop working in IE:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:head/>
<h:body>
<h:form id="form">
<p:commandButton value="Click me" onclick="alert('Button clicked')"
id="button" widgetVar="button"/>
<p:commandButton value="Update button" update="button"/>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
Okay, after further investigation it appears that the problem is caused by missing access rights in my IE installation - somehow the AJAX response involved in the update does not get handled correctly (even though no corresponding error messages or log entries are shown).
So, luckily, nothing's wrong with Primefaces here :)

primefaces: selectonemenu does not open on all pages

I am new to primefaces and already facing problems with the "selectOneMenu" component. I have implemented a mainMenu.xhtml file, which is visible on all my pages. This mainmenu has a "selectOneMenu" component for language Change. The "selectOneMenu" does not open on the start page and several other pages, but there are also pages where it opens and works as it should. I've searched the net for a couple of days now, and couldn't find any hint or suggestion, that solved my Problem.
Would be very nice to find some help here.
See code below: Identity_Session is a #SessionScoped-bean; The "languageSet" is a HashMap of (String, Integer) pairs.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>

<h:head>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<p:panel>
<h:panelGrid columns="2" cellpadding="5" style="right: 700px; position: absolute; margin-top: -7px;" rendered="#{identity_Session.showMenuLogout()}">
<p:outputLabel for="languageComboBox" value=" #{identity_Session.translate('outputlabel_language')}:" style="font-weight:bold"/>
<p:selectOneMenu id="languageComboBox" value="#{identity_Session.languageID}" style="width:150px">
<p:ajax listener="#{identity_Session.translationAction()}" update="#all" delay="1000"/>
<f:selectItems value="#{identity_Session.getLanguageSet()}" />
</p:selectOneMenu>
</h:panelGrid>
</p:panel>
</h:form>
<br/>
<br/>
</h:body>
</html>
UPDATE!!!
I am using the same selectOneMenu with the same values (as described above) on the same webPage. When I place the selectOneMenu in the "west"-layoutUnit it does not open, but when I place it in the "east"-layoutUnit it opens. Is this actually a "PrimeFaces"-Bug, or am I missing something?
Try to change
</f:panel>
to
</p:panel>

For all i know, the IE 8 doesn't support Primefaces Editor, still in IE 11.
Actually i can render it, but nothing works, not even the bold/italic/underline.
I think it's because the way IE process javascript... but i don't know much about technical issues.
(My tests were done on IE 11 and Primefaces 4.0, plain programming, didn't twitch anything)
Only for the RichText i'm using the HTML5 library wysihtml5 (GIT)
EDIT:
I'm sorry, i just stumbled on the answear to my problem (Editing on IE), hope it fixes yours
Just add contentType="text/html" to the <f:view> like this <f:view contentType="text/html">
Here is the post from Optimus (Even though it's a rendering problem for chrome)

primefaces tab menu only displayed as link

I want to create a xhtml page which contains a dataTable for certain entities, to navigate between the entities i though i could use the TabMenu. But after the implementation the tabMenu menuItems are only showed as simpel links and not how the primefaces example:
My code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:body>
<h:form>
<p:tabMenu activeIndex="0">
<p:menuitem value="Customers" url="customerTableView.xhtml" icon="ui-icon-document"/>
<p:menuitem value="Orders" url="orderTableView.xhtml" icon="ui-icon-document"/> Vie
</p:tabMenu>
</h:form>
</h:body>
Cant find the reason why its not correctly rendered, i also tried diffent browsers.
I simply didn't notice that the "head"-tags are missing. Adding them solved the problem.
