    too late

    Also, you can't direct link

    they won't count the votes 🙂
  • m
    We'll get there at some point

    thank you!

    are there any undocumented gotchas with class-tools? I can't seem to get them to trigger on content loaded with 
    htmx.ajax
    , but maybe I'm just missing something?
  • b
    Anyone got a smart idea for a beginner: I have a button with 
    hx-get
    and 
    hx-target
    and upon click the button either receives an errormessage for his target OR a HttpResponse object (download start).
  • s
    I need more details. Your text contains a condition (OR). How should the OR be handled?
  • b
    yes exactly how to implement that case handling is my problem.

    someone here had the idea to put the dowload link (static) in the answer, but how would I automatically (invisible to the user) start the download
  • m
    hx-trigger=“load”
  • m
    ?
  • b
    so ... there is method that returns either or and in the first case:
    Copy code
    <td  hx-get="/download/{{ dl.id }}"
         hx-swap="innerHTML"
         hx-target="#msg" >
         <button>DL</button>
</td>
    the reply from the server would cause HTMX to switch my 
    <div id="msg"></div>
    to the errorstring. Do you suppose I alter my HttpResponse to return a static link and (html)string containing HTMX? like:
    Copy code
    <div hx-trigger="load" 
     hx-target="STATICLINK"></div>

    I upvoted and commented. Unfortunately no matter how hard I tried to remain neutral-ish, it still came out as gushing praise... which is bound to get crucified as “fanboyism” 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷‍♂️😁
  • m
    hmm, having a hard time following. Are you trying to start a download? If so you probably want to use some javascript or hyperscript
  • m
    that one is dead, we'll get another shot soon though 🙂
  • m
    ok, I threw a "No More Promises" link up on HN

    yes, I want to start a download, but it could be I receive an errorstring from my request and not a download file
  • m
    Got it. OK, so, in this case you need to "break out" of the ajax request, because you can't include a download in one. This will require a bit of scripting. The absolute bog-easiest way to do it, I believe, would be to create a script tag in the download case:
    Copy code
    html
  <script>
     window.open("https://thedownload.url.com", '_self');
  </script>

    if you have a hacker news account, I have posted a new attempt to get on the front page. It is on the second page of /new right now
  • a
    Just upvoted. Already at 85. on new though :/
  • b
    with "create a script tag" you mean deliver it as answer?
  • b
    in the htmlstring that comes from the backend?
  • b
    upvoted.
  • m
    yep
  • m
    just return the script as content
  • m
    htmx will evalutate it
