DataTables and Rails Setup But Showing No Change

I've followed along with the following tutorials to get DataTables setup in my Rails app, but I am seeing no change. Here's what I followed:

https://github.com/rweng/jquery-datatables-rails

http://railscasts.com/episodes/340-datatables

I am not getting an error. I'm just seeing no change. And I restarted my server.

Application.js

//= require dataTables/jquery.dataTables

Application.css

*= require dataTables/jquery.dataTables

View:

<table id="products">
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th>Name</th>
        <th>Price</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>

    <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td>Something</td>
          <td>Something</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>Something</td>
          <td>Something</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>Something</td>
          <td>Something</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Products.js.coffee

jQuery ->
  $('#products').dataTable

I just want to be able to sort columns. Why is this not working?

Try converting Products.js.coffee back to regular javascript and seeing if the results are the same. If so, the problem is either with the javascript itself or the compilation of the coffeescript (make sure the coffee-rails gem is in the Gemfile). Also check out the RailsCast Coffeescript Episode.
