[Rails] Re: run simple method from Helper on button click

The `button_to_function` method's second argument should be JavaScript, not Ruby.

See: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/JavaScriptHelper.html#method-i-button_to_function

            "simple output"
         end
    end
