This thread has been beat to death, but one other point: What do *you* think the vast majority of times you click "Delete" and are then asked "Do you really want to delete?" Of course I want to delete it, that's why I clicked that big fat delete button. The javascript confirmation is easy, and I do it all the time, but when not so lazy and the action lends itself I provide an undelete option afterwards for those rare "oops" times. -- Bill Moseley mose...@hank.org Sent from my iMutt ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/

This both checks if the user really wants to delete (if js is enabled) and also uses a post to delete data via the app. -- Thanks!

Yes, but if the user has JS disabled, you have a problem. What I typically do is have two separate actions, a "delete" and a "do_delete". The "delete" action merely displays the record and has a form (link, whatever) asking "Are you sure?", and then if they agree, you perform the "do_delete" that does the business. You could also have a single delete action but with a "confirm" parameter signalling that you're really deleting, etc. There are lots of options. You can pair this with JS if you want.
