This works - datetime picker pops up as expected on every input of type datetime

$('input[type=datetime]').datetimepicker({
            dateFormat: "dd-M-yy",
            changeMonth: true,
            changeYear: true,
            inline: false,
            step: 15,
            weeks: false,
            defaultTime: '09:00'
        });

This doesn't

document.querySelectorAll('input[type=datetime]').datetimepicker({
        dateFormat: "dd-M-yy",
        changeMonth: true,
        changeYear: true,
        inline: false,
        step: 15,
        weeks: false,
        defaultTime: '09:00'
    });

Any ideas ?

What I have tried:

$('input[type=datetime]').datetimepicker({
            dateFormat: "dd-M-yy",
            changeMonth: true,
            changeYear: true,
            inline: false,
            step: 15,
            weeks: false,
            defaultTime: '09:00'
        });

This doesn't

document.querySelectorAll('input[type=datetime]').datetimepicker({
        dateFormat: "dd-M-yy",
        changeMonth: true,
        changeYear: true,
        inline: false,
        step: 15,
        weeks: false,
        defaultTime: '09:00'
    });

Jquery is lightweight and easy to use. Any reason you are trying to get rid of it?

The datetime picker you're using relies on jQuery. You can't use it without jQuery.

If you want to get rid of jQuery, you'll need to find an alternative plugin - for example:
Lightpick - Javascript date range picker - lightweight, no jQuery[^]

To be honest, the built-in browser UI for <input type="date"> and <input type="time"> is usually good enough these days. But the <input type="datetime"> has been deprecated, and isn't supported in any browser.

Ok thanks Richard I'm only using this in a personal project - I'm sure you realise I'm not a Web dev :-)

HI Richard, I tried the type=date and it does pop up a date picker but type=time only gives me two input areas no pop up picker - is this expected ?

That's fairly standard for desktop browsers, with the exception of Edge:
<input type="time"> - HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN[^]
