      <h2><code>ic-delete-from</code> - The Delete-To Attribute</h2>

      <h3>Summary</h3>

      <p>The <code>ic-delete-from</code> attribute binds the <em>default action</em> (see below) of HTML element to a
        <code>DELETE</code> to the given URL.  For example, on a button, when the button is clicked, an
        AJAX <code>DELETE</code> will be issued to the given URL.</p>

      {% include action_common.html %}

      <h3>Syntax</h3>

      <p>The value of the attribute should be a valid relative path (e.g. <code>ic-delete-from="/foo/bar"</code>).</p>

      <h3>Dependencies</h3>

      <p><code>ic-delete-from</code> implies a dependency on its path, and Intercooler will issue requests for elements
        whenever it detects an action that the path depends on.  See <a href="/dependencies.html">Dependencies</a> for
      more information.</p>

      <h3>Example</h3>

      <p>Here is a simple example, with a span that depends on the updated URL:</p>

      <pre>
        &lt;button class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" ic-delete-from="/delete_me">Delete Me!&lt;/button>
      </pre>


      <div class="live-demo">
        <script>
          (function () {
            $.mockjax({
              'url': '/delete_me',
              "headers": {
                "X-IC-Remove": true
              }
            });
          })();
        </script>
        <button class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" ic-delete-from="/delete_me">Delete Me!</button>
      </div>
