title: How do I emulate the "DELETE" request method in JQuery as I do in Backbone?
body: <p>In Backbone, there is a "DELETE".</p>
  
  <pre><code>this.model.url = '/js/products/123/destroy';
  this.model.destroy();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I emulate this in JQuery?</p>
  
  <p>In my node.js app, I specifically look for app.delete.</p>
