The problem is you haven't set an id for your button.Try this:

<div id="btn">
  <%= button_to "btnAdd" %>
</div>

#=> <input type="submit" value="btnAdd" id="btn" />

Change your Jquery like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
     $("#btn").click(function(event) {
         event.preventDefault();
      alert("Hassan");
    });
});

Fiddle

button_to generates a form with a input type="submit" button like:

<%= button_to "btnAdd"%>
# => "<form method="post" action="" class="button_to">
#      <div><input value="btnAdd" type="submit" /></div>
#    </form>"

So try this:

$(document).ready(function() {
     $("input[value='btnAdd']").click(function(e) {
      e.preventDefault();
      alert("Hassan");
    }
});
