Hi all As we all know, in REST the ResourceController#delete action is called by calling "/resources/:id" with a delete method. But, the delete method is not supported in IE. This seems like a problem to me. How do people get around this, typically? I can think of various ways around it but they all seem a bit bodgy and i''d like to know some other approaches or even if there''s something really obvious that i''m missing. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi,
You just cat you following in your view:
<%= link_to ''Destroy'', photo, :confirm => ''Are
you sure?'', :method
=> :delete %>
and it appear in browser to that:
<a onclick="if (confirm(''Are you sure?'')) { var f
document.createElement(''form''); f.style.display =
''none'';
this.parentNode.appendChild(f); f.method = ''POST''; f.action
this.href;var m = document.createElement(''input'');
m.setAttribute(''type'', ''hidden'');
m.setAttribute(''name'', ''_method'');
m.setAttribute(''value'', ''delete'');
f.appendChild(m);var s document.createElement(''input'');
s.setAttribute(''type'', ''hidden'');
s.setAttribute(''name'',
''authenticity_token'');
s.setAttribute(''value'',
''LgNwcxaXQ3+NT95f1SJYo1ZOUfXMFtQimzSzDmjJM3g='');
f.appendChild(s);f.submit(); };return false;" href="/photos/
51">Destroy</a>
as you can see its still post, but it has hidden input that tells your
controller about delete.

by the way, the same story about PUT
<form method="post" id="edit_photo_51"
class="edit_photo" action="/
photos/51">
<div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; display: inline;">
<input type="hidden" value="put"
name="_method">
<input type="hidden"
value="LgNwcxaXQ3+NT95f1SJYo1ZOUfXMFtQimzSzDmjJM3g="
name="authenticity_token">
</div>
..........
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Update"
name="commit"
id="photo_submit">
</p>
</form>

I actually tried this with a link_to_remote and the generated html was just a call to jQuery.ajax with the delete method, just as i''d done it already, rather than the code you posted up. I wonder if this is an issue with the jrails plugin, which overrides the javascript generated by rails'' remote helpers. I''m actually doing it in javascript (in a jQuery.ajax call) anyway, so lets see if changing the method to post and adding "_method=delete" to the data has the same effect...yes it does.
