The article is from 2011, using a very old version of Rails.

Rails 4 is not provided with scriptaculous anymore.

You have two options:

  1. download and enable scriptaculous in your Rails application;
  2. adapt scriptaculous' functions to use jquery instead.

It seem it is a valid jQuery code.

Have you included scriptaculous on your application?

If so, can you try this?

Valid jQuery scripts not loading in production mode

you need to add it to your application.js file.
1. move it to your 'vendor/assets/javascripts' folder.
