Hello Alfredo,

The problem here is the script tag as you are using it without any 
attribute as type/language.

Please refer https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/scriptfor 
more details. The script tag if not given type will be treated as 
JavaScript tag.

Hence in your case browser is considering that this script tag contains 
JavaScript code and giving such errors.

For using coffeescript in script tags you can refer
