Thumbs_up Gem, a Little issue with ajax

I came across this link the other day and I decided to implement this voting system through ajax: JQuery + thumbs_up gem render vote count? . But the problem is I pretty much followed it step by step but it seems as though the ajax isn't working. Can anyone help? Thank you!

Micropost Controller

class MicropostsController < ApplicationController

  def vote_up
    @micropost = Micropost.find(params[:id])
    current_user.vote_exclusively_for(@micropost)
  end

  def vote_down
    @micropost = Micropost.find(params[:id])
    current_user.vote_exclusively_against(@micropost)
  end

end

votecount.html.erb

<div class='Counter'>
<span class='CounterNum'><%= @micropost.votes_for %></span>
<a href="#" class='CounterButton b2' updown="up" theid="123">
<span class='CounterIcon'></span>
</a>
<a href="#" class='CounterButton b2' updown="down" theid="123">
<span class='CounterIcon'></span>
</a>
</div>

votecount.js

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".CounterButton").click(function() {
        var val = $(this).attr('updown');
        var theid = $(this).attr('theid');
        if (val == "up") {
            console.log('up');
        } else {
            console.log('down');
        }
    });​
});

It is working fine for me .. Just have look at this http://jsfiddle.net/GLVQe/

Make sure you added jQuery library file before this jQuery code.
