I have written a script that goes through a bunch of files and snips out a portion of the files for further processing. The script creates a new directory and creates new files for each snip that is taken out.  I have to now evaluate each of the files that were created to see if it is what I needed.  The script also creates an html index file with links to each of the snips.  So I can click the hyperlink to see the file, make a note in a spreadsheet to  indicate if the file is correct or not and then use the back button in the browser to take me back to the index list.  
I was sitting here wondering if I could somehow create a delete button in the browser next to the hyperlink.  My thought is I would click the hyperlink, make a judgment about the file and if it is not one I want to keep then when I get back to the main page I just press the delete button and it is gone from the directory.   
Does anyone have any idea if this is possible.  I am writing this in python but clearly the issue is is there a way to create an htm file with a delete button-I would just use Python to write the commands for the deletion button.
You could make this even simpler by making it all happen in one main page. Instead of having a list of hyperlinks, just have the main page have one frame that loads one of the autocreated pages in it. Put a couple of buttons at the bottom - a "Keep this page" and a "Delete this page." When you click either button, the main page refreshes, this time with the next autocreated page in the frame.
You could make this as a cgi script in your favorite scripting language. You can't just do this in html because an html page only does stuff client-side, and you can only delete files server-side. You will probably need as cgi args the page to show in the frame, and the last page you viewed if the button click was a "delete".
Can I Use Python to Make a Delete Button in a 'web page'
