:confirm not working

Currently my confirm pop-up window hasn't been coming up. Here is my code:

<%= link_to "Delete", status, method: :delete, data: { confirm: "Are you sure?"} %>

I see the "Delete" link, but a pop-up doesn't come up when I click on it. Also, it doesn't actually delete the status.

Hi Jacinda,

I get exactly the same error. I downloaded the zipfile supplied with the "Frontend development" badge. Also the layout of the view does look a little different from Jim's .. Seems like Bootsstrap is not working right at present (don't know why ... skipping that for the moment)

I wonder whether I made some mistake within the setup process - was using rvm to setup ruby and rails under ubuntu 13. Also installed therubyracer by inserting "gem rubyracer" in the Gemfile...

Did you do anything similar to get your setup?

Cheers Marc
