Question

I’m using the following for a delete link:

<%= link_to "Delete", photo_path(@photo.id), :confirm => "Are you sure?", :method=>:delete %>

Problem is, if I click CANCEL – it still deletes!!! wooops… Why is that?

Answer 1

First, you don’t have to write photo_path(@photo.id), just pass @photo, that’s enough.

<%= link_to "Delete", @photo, :confirm => "Are you sure?", :method => :delete %>

If the link doesn’t work, that means that your page doesn’t correctly load the JavaScript adaptator for your JavaScript framework. For example, if you use use jQuery, check this :
