A button that provides “Delete” functionality for the current list item. After the deletion, the form is closed (*)

The control inherits properties and behavior from Ribbon Button control. The script that is pre-generated in the designer for the “OnClick” event, deletes the current list item/document.

The default view of the list/document library if no “Source” parameter isn’t specified in the current URL

For example, if the current URL of the form is http://openous.sharepoint.com/lists/TestList/NewForm.aspx?Source=/Pages/Home.aspx

then “Close” will navigate the browser window to http://openous.sharepoint.com/Pages/Home.aspx
