Are you getting any errors in the javascript console?

I'm learning on creating a website using Ruby on Rails (RoR). I had an HTML template that I created when I worked with JSP 2 years ago, and now I want to reuse it in my RoR website. This is HTML file

    <body>
    
    <div id="container">
    
        <ul id="nav">
            <li><a href="index.html">Livingroom</a></li>
            <li><a href="about.html">Bedroom</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Mattress</a></li>
            <li id="selected"><a href="#">Bathroom</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Kitchen</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Office</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Outdoor</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">About Us</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">My Account</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">SearchBar</a></li>
        </ul>
    </div>
    
    <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.Nav.js"></script>
    
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $('#nav').spasticNav();
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

and this is the javascript file jquery.Nav.js

    (function($) {
    
    $.fn.spasticNav = function(options) {
   
    options = $.extend({
    overlap : 20,
    speed : 500,
    reset : 1500,
    color : '#0b2b61',
    easing : 'easeOutExpo'
    }, options);
   
    return this.each(function() {
   
    var nav = $(this),
    currentPageItem = $('#selected', nav),
    blob,
    reset;
   
    $('<li id="blob"></li>').css({
    width : currentPageItem.outerWidth(),
    height : currentPageItem.outerHeight() + options.overlap,
    left : currentPageItem.position().left,
    top : currentPageItem.position().top - options.overlap / 2,
    backgroundColor : options.color
    }).appendTo(this);
   
    blob = $('#blob', nav);
   
    $('li:not(#blob)', nav).hover(function() {
    // mouse over
    clearTimeout(reset);
    blob.animate(
    {
    left : $(this).position().left,
    width : $(this).width()
    },
    {
    duration : options.speed,
    easing : options.easing,
    queue : false
    }
    );
    }, function() {
    // mouse out
    reset = setTimeout(function() {
    blob.animate({
    width : currentPageItem.outerWidth(),
    left : currentPageItem.position().left
    }, options.speed)
    }, options.reset);
    });
    }); // end each
    };
    })(jQuery);

In the application.html.erb of RoR project, I include the js file like this

      <%= javascript_include_tag "jquery.Nav.js" %>

However, my homepage doesn't work even though I put the <script type="text/javascript">$('#nav').spasticNav();</script> inside the body tag of RoR project

    <body>
      <div class="container">
          <%=  render 'layouts/header'%>
          
              <%=yield%>
          
          <%=  render 'layouts/footer'%>
      </div>
    
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $('#nav').spasticNav();
    </script>
    
    </body>

Is there anyway to embed the $('#nav').spasticNav() into the js file. I tried many ways but it still doesn't work. Thanks a lot.

EDIT:  I saw some examples online that they embed the function into js file like this. 

    jQuery(document).ready(function($){
    
    /*---------------------------------
    MENU Dropdowns

    $('ul.menu').each(function(){
