Rails 3.2.11 does a get request when its actually a delete request

Hey guys i dunno how to put this i have done a bit ror..I kinda changed all my work to my new lap and i have win 7 and i am usin ror 3.2.11 for most of my projects...The problem is that when i do 

<%= link_to("Delete", user, :method => :delete, :confirm => "Are you sure that you want to delete this user") %>

it renders as 

<a href="/users/1" data-confirm="Are you sure that you want to delete this user" data-method="destroy" rel="nofollow">Delete</a>

but when i click this link it actually does a get request here are the server logs

3 things are require for this to work (your code is correct)

Gemfile must contain

group :assets do
  gem 'jquery-rails'
end

views/layouts/application.html.(erb or haml) must contain in the header tag

<%= javascript_include_tag 'application' %>

assets/javascripts/application.js must contain

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
