Bootstrap popup menu only works once

Question

It should be something simple, but I cannot figure out how to fix it. I use the Bootstrap 3 CSS and JS drop-down menu.

Problem: I click the dropdown menu, it works. I select a link from the drop-down menu, and when it brings me to this page, the drop-down menu does not work on this page.

Drop-down menu only works once.

HTML in application.html.erb:

<ul class="list-unstyled">   
      <li class="dropdown">  
        <div class="btn btn-primary btn-pages" data-toggle="dropdown">Dropdown <a href="#" id="pages" class="dropdown-toggle"><i class="icon-caret-down"></i></a></div>
        <ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="pages"> 
          <li><%= link_to("Contacts", contacts_path) %></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
     </ul>

JS and jQuery are loaded in application.html.erb:

   <!-- jQuery & Javascript CDN Includes -->
<%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

It seems that the JS or jQuery needed for the action does not reload when the page changes. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

EDIT: JS Code
