    htmx should send everything in the enclosing 
    form
    on a `POST`; would it be possible to have these actions wrapped in an enclosing form? I've done that on my "item maintenance" page; I start with a form (with the CSRF tokens), then render each item with its requisite actions within that form, using 
    hx-post
    with the ID for that particular one.

    Here's an example of what I'm talking about; it uses Liquid, but the concept works however you're generating it. https://github.com/bit-badger/myWebLog/blob/6b49793fbb71731ea27404d4e7f4963d2eff0995/src/admin-theme/tag-mapping-list-body.liquid#L12

    Are you pushing the url? I see that often when replacing the url with one that only works in partial format

    I have some paths of my app as normal request. I notice this happening when I go from a normal view back to a htmx view. Also this was only noticed in chromium based browsers. Other browsers it was normal and no naked partial rendering was noticed. And yes I am pushing url.

    Thanks for that suggestion. I don't think it would work as you have it, as my page is initially rendered with normal data and a button swaps in the edit form for that section. It's in the edit form I am unable to target the original div for the post response. But you have given me an idea that I can try...

    Hi all! Is the 
    htmx:load
    event expected to only be triggered once in a normal request? Because I was logging to console and saw that it was triggered multiple times for a single click event, specifically for a link that had 
    hx-boost=true
    on it.
  • o
    To answer my own question, I found this [answer](https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/issues/557), so I guess 
    htmx:load
    is not exactly similar to an 
    onLoad
    event since it can be triggered multiple times for a single htmx-powered ajax request.

    is it possible to send a webdav LOCK request with htmx?
  • m
    what does that look like?
  • m
  • m
    I don't think so
  • m
    if there is a way to make the xhr object issue one, it wouldn't be hard to hack in support though
  • p
  • p
    i guess i would do something like 
    req.open("LOCK", "http://www.example.org/");
    on an XMLHttpRequest object

    be me show htmx app to boss boss very happy with the behavior and style of the app boss asks: is this all with htmx? me: yes, interactivity driven by htmx and basic html elements with styling. For example, this thing in here is just a plain html table with input elements in it expanding to the entire cell. big smile

    I forgot to mention to him that I used hyperscript for extra awesomeness

    Nice one

    Hey all, what do ya'll think of Rich Harris's criticisms of using HTML responses instead of client-side JS frameworks? He's talking about Hotwire, but I think it also applies to HTMX.

    I promise I'm not trying to start a flame war, but I am trying to decide what direction to go with my new project and I'm hearing really good arguments on both sides

  • m
    TLDR: it's a good talk, but htmx and other advanced hypermedia-based libraries can often achieve the interactivity necessary for an application at much lower complexity
  • m
    as always, It Depends (tm)
  • i
    Is there a way to initialize HTMX manually? Something like an 
    htmx.init()
    JS call?
  • m
  • m
    😑
  • m
    You have content that has htmx attributes in it and you want to turn them on?
  • m
  • r
    I liked the response, but the one thing that keeps bothering me is the fact that I'll be fine using HTMX 90% of the time, but if/when I need more sophisticated JS, I'll have to reach for and learn a new library
  • m
    yep
  • r
    I do like not having to mess with any build tools. I think that's a killer feature
  • m
    yep
