EEEK! No! If that page ever accidentally got spidered, all the records
would be deleted. Spiders don't run JavaScript, they just 'click'
links.

PHP would be better. I usually pass items to be deleted to an interim
page (store them in a session or hidden field) and ask users to click a
button to confirm the delete.
