[web2py] Confirm deletion of record

I have a 'Delete' link in my edit view. The controller looks like this: def delete(): task=db.tasks[request.args[0]] form = crud.delete(db.tasks, task.id, next=URL(r=request,f='index'), message=T('Deleted'),deletable=True) return dict(form = form) what I want is before the crud.delete

Wow, huge help. Thanks a TON, Bruno and Jonathan. You're both awesome members of the community. I hope to be the same one day. Cheers, TC
