    <p>I'm making a few assumptions in this answer:</p> <ol> <li>You're using HTML5 markup</li> <li>You want a styled link "button" to trigger a sound</li> <li>You don't want to display the default HTML5 audio player</li> <li>The sound files are stored in <code>public/audios</code></li> <li>The sound file is pre-loaded on the page</li> </ol> <p>Unfortunately, the Rails 3.2 implementation of <code>audio_tag</code> is broken (<a href="https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/9373" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/9373</a>). So unless you're using Rails 4, you're better off using the actual HTML markup.</p> <p>In this example, we're loading an mp3 file in the the default HTML5 audio player. The following snippet should be in your view file.</p> <pre><code>&lt;audio id="sound_effect" class="audio_player" controls="false" preload="true"&gt; &lt;source src="/audios/TrainWhistle.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"&gt; &lt;/audio&gt; </code></pre> <p>Since the HTML5 audio player comes with "built-in" display chrome, you may want to position it off the page with css. In this example, you would add the following to your css file:</p> <pre><code>.audio_player { position: absolute; top: -999em; { </code></pre> <p>Your link_to markup would look something like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= link_to 'At Station', '#', class: 'btn btn-success btn-medium', id: 'playsound' %&gt; </code></pre> <p>The javascript to actually play the sound will look similar to this jQuery example:</p> <pre><code>$('#playsound').on('click', function (e) { e.preventDefault(); $('#sound_effect').currentTime = 0; $('#sound_effect').play(); return false; }); </code></pre> <p>This example can easily be extended to support multiple files by small changes to the <code>link_to</code> tag and javascript.</p>

    1. COThanks, this is the right track. I've edited the code to reflect my settings (I'm using wav files in the public/audios directory). The CSS does hide the audio player which is nice. I've unhid it to see what's happening as when I click on the link_to it doesn't play anything. It just skips really fast through the file. Any thoughts ? I've edited your code example above to reflect my config.

    2. COWhen I unhide the audio_player class and try to play nothing happens. It just skips over the file really fast. Plus the volume has icon has a slash through it whether or not I enable controls. I'm using chrome btw. Though this feature will be intended for iOS Safari.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
