The phoenix_html ‘delete’ button function actually just makes a form that does nothing when clicked, it instead delegates the functionality to javascript to cause a popup box to ask if you are sure you want to delete it and if the user clicks Ok then it sends the command. I really don’t like that pattern as then it won’t work when I’m in, for example, elinks (as I often am), so they just don’t work for me. Using a proper form with just CSS to fix it up and ask a question on first expansion is far more reliable and ‘safe’.
