title: Why Destroy Action is NOT being fired?
body: <p>I am using Rails 3 and trying to see why the Destroy action is not being fired! My html fired is defined as follows: </p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;%= link_to "Delete", :action =&gt; "destroy", :id =&gt; article, :method =&gt; :delete, :confirm =&gt; "are u sure?" %&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And here is the ArticlesController: </p>
  
  <pre><code>def destroy
  
      @article = Article.find(params[:id]) 
      @article.destroy 
  
      respond_to do |format|
        format.html { redirect_to articles_url }
      end
  
    end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I click on the "Delete" link it takes me to the show action. I am not sure why is that?</p>
