By the looks of things you've followed the old railscast. The mercury-rails projects updates quite frequently.

The problem lies in your attributes on the span tag. You can safely remove the class="mercury-region"

You will also need to change data-type="editable" to data-mercury="full" .

See the different edit types (defined in the data-mercury attribute) on the github page: https://github.com/jejacks0n/mercury#region-types

I hope that helps!
