Check your browser's console for any load error. It seems that you are not deploying the javascript, so it's not loaded.

Either use

 <%= javascript_include_tag "//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.1/jquery.min.js" %>

or have a copy of the file you are serving in any of

/lib/assets/javascripts
/vendor/assets/javascripts
/app/assets/javascripts
