I am trying to use Low Pro to add a delete confirmation. In my
controller, I have added a delete and a destroy action. These content
of these actions are:

def delete
  @item = Item.find( params[ :id ] )
end

def destroy

  @item = Item.find( params[ :id ] )
  item.destroy

  redirect_to items_path
end

In the routes, I add a delete route to items by:

map.resources :items, :member => { :delete => :get }

I then have a view where I add a delete link like this (also using
haml):

= link_to "delete", delete_item_path( item ), :class => 'delete'

All of this works when I have javascript disabled. Now I am trying to
add a behavior that will do the confirmation in javascript and if
confirmed then redirect to the destroy action. I am trying to do this
as follows but it is not working.

Remote.Delete = Behavior.create( Remote.Base, {
  onclick: function( event ) {
    if ( confirm( 'Are you sure?'  ) ) {
      var destroy_url = this.element.href.gsub( '/delete$', '' );
      options = Object.extend( { url: destroy_url, method: 'delete' },
this.options );
      return this._makeRequest( options )
    }
    return false;
  }

Event.addBehavior( {
  '.delete' : Remote.Delete

The onclick gets executed but it is not working correctly. Any help
would be appriciated.

Thanks,
