Problem with jQuery.ajax with ‘delete’ method in ie

IE 7 and 8 do not support DELETE and PUT methods. I had a problem where IE7,8 would not follow a 302 redirect and IE would use the DELETE or PUT method for the location that it was supposed to redirect to (with a get.)

To ensure that IE7 and 8 work properly, I would use a POST with the parameters:

data: {'_method': 'delete'}
