Adding javascript to HAML markup error

I want to add a datepicker to my HAML markup. I started with that question and tried 2 approaches to add an script:

%h3
  Please enter the following information:
= form('/some_path', :post)
  = input(:date, :start_date, class: "formbox")
  = input(:date, :end_date, class: "formbox")
  = submit('Submit', class: "button")

%script(type="text/javascript")
  $(function() {$( "#start_date, #end_date" ).datepicker({format: 'yyyy-mm-dd'});});

and 

:javascript
  $(function() {
    $( "#start_date, #end_date" ).datepicker({format: 'yyyy-mm-dd'});
  });

This one was finally correct, problem was in form part.

Both produce an error syntax error, unexpected keyword_ensure, expecting end-of-input on line :javascript or %script(type="text/javascript")

How to fix that and add the script?

%script tag expects curly brackets; in the latter example there is =content_for tag needed:

%script{data:{'foo'=> 'bar'}, 'type'=> "text/javascript"}
= content_for :javascripts do
  :javascript
    $(function() {
      $( "#start_date, #end_date" ).datepicker({format: 'yyyy-mm-dd'});
    });
