Answer 1

surprisingly, the formaction attribute was not covered. you can use it like so

    ...
    edit
    delete

of course, this does not use javascript and has good browser support. this route (no pun intended) has the added benefit of not requiring extra if / then statements on the server since the same route won't be used for two different things
