collection Field Type not creating form elements

Question

I'm trying to create a form which will add a new text box every time the 'Add new box' link got clicked. I read through the following example. http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/forms/types/collection.html

Basically I was following the example from the book. But when the page is rendered and I click on the link nothing happens. Any thoughts? Thanks.

This is my controller.

 public function createAction() {
    $formBuilder = $this->createFormBuilder();

    $formBuilder->add('emails', 'collection', array(
        // each item in the array will be an "email" field
        'type'   => 'email',
        'prototype' => true,
        'allow_add' => true,
        // these options are passed to each "email" type
        'options'  => array(
            'required'  => false,
            'attr'      => array('class' => 'email-box')
        ),
    ));
    $form = $formBuilder->getForm();

    return $this->render('AcmeRecordBundle:Form:create.html.twig', array(
        'form' => $form->createView(),
    ));
}

This is the view.

 <form action="..." method="POST" {{ form_enctype(form) }}>
{# store the prototype on the data-prototype attribute #}
<ul id="email-fields-list" data-prototype="{{ form_widget(form.emails.get('prototype')) | e }}">
{% for emailField in form.emails %}
    <li>
        {{ form_errors(emailField) }}
        {{ form_widget(emailField) }}
    </li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

<a href="#" id="add-another-email">Add another email</a>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
// keep track of how many email fields have been rendered
var emailCount = '{{ form.emails | length }}';

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery('#add-another-email').click(function() {
        var emailList = jQuery('#email-fields-list');

        // grab the prototype template
        var newWidget = emailList.attr('data-prototype');
        // replace the "$$name$$" used in the id and name of the prototype
        // with a number that's unique to our emails
        // end name attribute looks like name="contact[emails][2]"
        newWidget = newWidget.replace(/\$\$name\$\$/g, emailCount);
        emailCount++;

        // create a new list element and add it to our list
        var newLi = jQuery('<li></li>').html(newWidget);
        newLi.appendTo(jQuery('#email-fields-list'));

        return false;
    });
})
</script>
