Thank you very much, It looks like you're right. All these problems
began to occur after I moved the app to production using
passenger/nginx. I used google version because that was the last
version. I did not know this was being included twice by jquery_ujs.js.
In fact, I was able get rid of some of the error by doing some changes
after your suggestion.
To tell you the truth, the problem is not so much programming but
understanding the concepts of about rails architecture and its modules.
This for me is the hard part. I am still at the beginning of the curve,
but I hope with your suggestion and I will get there.
One more thing:
Do you recommend to testing locally with nginx my rails app? I believe
it will bring the closest scenario to the one I am using i production,
specially if I can debug to better understand the errors.

There's generally three levels of testing in Rails:
1) Unit testing: this is part of the Rails architecture and doesn't depend on a browser. I use rspec/capybara, others use the standard test unit supplied with Rails, etc. This is basically automated testing and does a very good job of testing controllers/models to insure the right things are happening with respect to information produced (or not produced), retrieved and saved correctly, etc.
2) Visual testing which is testing in the browser. When you're writing views, for example, it's pretty much necessary to see things in a browser. In this case, I always test in development mode because changes you make are automatically reflected on a refresh. This is accomplished by having sprockets and the pipeline live. In production, everything has to be pre-compiled and that would significantly slow development time.
3) Once you have developed the piece or application that you are now ready to show the client/user, you should test it in the nginx/passenger production environment (or whatever environment the application will be running in in production). As you have seen above, things can happen and you should always test this before releasing a piece of your work to be reviewed.
I should note you can use nginx/passenger and run it in the development environment. I sometimes do this, sometimes I just use WEBrick (rails server).
This is just my opinion, there a lot of different ways to do this but however you do it, and whatever tools best fit you, it is important that you test.
The railstutorial.org I referred to in the above posts is free and the tutorial largely focuses on the rails architecture and models. It takes you through the construction of a basic twitter-like site step by step, explaining the concepts as you go. I think there's one chapter on basic ruby you could probably skip.
