Re: Forms that delete something

Tim,

Did you mean to say that "whether or not the button is inside a form will **not** be meaningful to someone using a screen reader”?

Otherwise, I find these two sentences confusing:

> Realistically, whether or not the button is inside a form will be meaningful to someone using a screen reader. Unless you do something special, the person using a screen reader most likely will not be informed that the button is contained inside a form.

I’m still not entirely persuaded (yet) that it is necessarily better or more helpful to place the button inside a form. And is this just for deletions? What about patches that, say, remove or change a relationship in the database?

Thanks,

Peter
