The fact is crud.delete() does not return a form, ever. If you call
it, it deletes the record.
you can do something like this
def delete():
task=db.tasks[request.args[0]]
if request.vars.confirm:
crud.delete(db.tasks, task.id,next=URL(r=request,f='index'),
message=T('Deleted'),deletable=True)
else:
form = BUTTON('really
delete',_onclick='document.location="%s"'%URL(vars=dict(confirm=True)))
return dict(form = form)
