Datepicker show/hide function not working

[x3wniu]

When create a datepicker for a div (non-input) elementm the show/hide functions don't work.

<div id="datepicker"></div>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.14.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.7.1.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.14.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script>
$("#datepicker").datepicker();
$("#datepicker").datepicker("hide");
</script>

Thanks for the report. Does the issue you describe exist when jQuery UI 1.12.1 is used or only with jQuery UI 1.13.0 or newer?

Also, please provide a runnable test case on a platform like JS Bin.
