Re: Adding a delete confirmation

KJoyner <k...@kjoyner.com>

Jarkko is correct, I am trying to create both an accessible link (when
Javascript is disabled) and an AJAX request when java is enabled.

After reading your post, I just thought to check my log to see if it
showed anything. It does route but shows an
ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken during a call to
request_forgery_protection.
