问题
I have put fancybox (jquery plugin ) inside the assets/javascripts/includes/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4
Before this location i also tried to put it under /vendor/assets/stylesheets/jquery directory.
I am getting this weird error & why isn't rails able to get the particular file when its right there.

回答1:
Simply use the fancy box gem https://github.com/hecticjeff/fancybox-rails
回答2:
Rails doesn't load your */assets/javascripts tree automatically, just the files in that directory. And by default, it will only precompile application.js and anything with a non .js extension.
I would recommend you rename the fancybox file to just fancybox-1.3.4.js. With Rails 3.1, assets are concatenated and minified before output, so there's not much need to even use the minified version, though it won't hurt anything if you do.
You should put jQuery plugins directly in vendor/assets/javascripts/, then include them into the appropriate file (probably application.js) in app/assets/javascripts, like so (assuming application.js):
//= require jquery
//= require fancybox-1.3.4
//= [any other requires here]
//= require_self
Then you use javascript_include_tag 'application' in your layout. Voila!
