JQuery not updating nested form in Rails

I am following Railcasts 197 to make a nested form in my application. I am trying to show a "delete" link that hides a row from a form using jQuery.

If I click on delete, nothing happens, but if I click Submit and errors appear on the page, the line is deleted!

I've been trying to fix it for days but I just can't see if something is missing or I need to add something, any help would be appreciated.

code:

model / album _review_proposal.rb

class AlbumReviewProposal < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :description, :user_id, :album_attributes
  validates :description, :presence => true

  has_one :album, :dependent => :destroy
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :album , :allow_destroy => true
end

      

        
        
        
      

    

model /album.rb

class Album < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :album_name, :artist,  :year, :tracks_attributes

  validates :album_name, :artist, :presence => true
  validates :year, :numericality => { :only_integer => true }

  belongs_to :album_review_proposal
  has_many :tracks
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :tracks, :allow_destroy => true
end

      

        
        
        
      

    

model /track.rb

class Track < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :track_name, :track_number

  validates :track_name, :track_number,  :presence => true

  belongs_to :album
end
