$("#datepicker") searches the DOM for this id.  So nothing is coming-
back despite having a non-DOM element with this ID.

This should work: Reference it explicitly.

$.('<div id="datepicker" />').datePicker(...).appendTo
("#SomeContainer");

One caveat: I know the datepicker adds other things to the DOM, like a
textbox placeholder for example.  I don't know if datepicker assumes
the target element is itself in the DOM.  Let us know how this turns
out <s>.
