I'm looking for a way to have a form that allows editing of the properties of an item (ala KM's Net News etc.), but I also want to be able to delete the item from the edit form.... SO I tried this code:

<FORM action=manage_delObjects method=post>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden name="ids:list" value="<dtml-var id>">
<input type=submit value="Delete Item"> </FORM>

which doesn't work because the item is not found.... understandable as we're at item/edit in the case of this form, so I changed it to:

<FORM action=manage_delObjects method=post>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden name="ids:list" value="../<dtml-var id>">
<input type=submit value="Delete Item"> </FORM>

no go here either... My Qeustion is:

Is it possible to have a form (in a Zclass instance) that deletes the instance of the Zclass and if so, how!
