The delete method posted on this video isn't working for me since I am still using sinatra. How can I delete a post without using the "_method" method.

Hi, with Sinatra framework the hidden input with name "_method" works like Rails:

<form action="/task/<%= @task.id %>/delete" method="post">
  <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="delete">
  <button type="submit">Delete</button>
</form>
