It's hard to say, you would need to follow it in a browser that has tools
for that such as firebug in Firefox. Chrome and Safari also have good
developer tools. My guess would be turbolinks. If you are using Rails 4,
turbolinks is installed by default. Turbolinks regenerates the page's
content without loading a new page. Therefore, document.ready and
window.onload aren't triggered. You need to use one of turbolink's events,
such as page:change. See documentation at the following:
https://github.com/rails/turbolinks
If that's not it, I would need more information.
