Body
If you end up using websockets: Websockets can be implemented with Rails, but not all hosting environments support it. Here are a couple links that might help you get started: <a href="http://m.onkey.org/websockets-made-easy-with-cramp" rel="nofollow">http://m.onkey.org/websockets-made-easy-with-cramp</a> (requires <a href="http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/" rel="nofollow">Thin</a> or <a href="http://rainbows.rubyforge.org/" rel="nofollow">Rainbows!</a>) <a href="http://www.pusherapp.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pusherapp.com/</a> (if you are using Heroku, this one is a good option) For the client-side, some javascript plugins have a flash fallback if the browser does not support websockets. Instead of implementing the entire game in flash, you might be better off using such a plugin. (Your server would still require websocket support.) Here is one option (requires jQuery): <a href="https://github.com/ffdead/jquery-graceful-websocket" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ffdead/jquery-graceful-websocket</a> As you stated, websockets are very new, and as a result will be quite experimental. If all else fails, there are more common AJAX solutions out there. It is possible that for a simple card game, you could just periodically query the server using AJAX requests until the other player has made a move. This would probably increase server load, so I guess it depends on your needs. Edit: See also: <a href="http://juggernaut.rubyforge.org/" rel="nofollow">Juggernaut</a>

1. COI have succeeded to have gracefull degradation from websockets to polling with Juggernaut (look for it on github). If you can host a juggernaut server, I'd suggest to have a peek at it.

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.
