    Try setting 
    hx-target="#modal" hx-select="#modal" hx-swap="outerHTML"
    on the save button

    Makes sense! Thanks for sharing and responding in kind!
  • s
    No problem 🙂

    @ripe-action-67367 that work fine 😄 thx a lot

    Is there a way with HTMX to have an "outer" element control the "inner" elements?
    Copy code
    <div hx-get="/demo/">
    <select>...</select>
<div>
    In the example above, I'd like the select to trigger a hx-get, but set the attribute via the div. The reason, is I am using django, and I can conveniently render form fields, but I can't easily attach attributes to it.
  • s
    You should be able to add 
    hx-trigger="change from:find select"
    to the so it's trigger on a change from the

    hello everyone, are there any guidlines regarding minimal browser features for htmx to work properly? Trying to run htmx page on ancient smart tv and cannot get it to work. I see in the server logs that all resources are downloaded and it even installs WS connection, but content of the page is not updating afterwards. Even worse is that I cannot get error logs from device.
  • b
    @stocky-dentist-80693 Exactly what I needed. Thanks a bunch.
  • b
    Can you see the user-agent in the server logs? Might give you an idea about what you’re dealing with.
  • b
    yes I do
  • b
    I tried two different TV's and had no success unfortunately, so I figured I will ask here first before I dive in
  • b
    Might be worth putting a simple vanilla JS script at the bottom of your page? Something that does a 
    document.write
    or similar just to see if you can edit the DOM. Then maybe do a 
    fetch
    to your server and see if that works?
  • b
    Otherwise someone else will have to have a stab at a required features list 😄

    this seems useful for event based programming: https://davidwalsh.name/monitorevents

    extremely useful!

    Heya. Quick question: doing 
    hx-post
    call. The data I get back is an 
    octet-stream
    . How do I start to download it instead of returning it as a string being injected into an element?
  • m
    you shouldn't use an ajax request for that, I usually issue a client side redirect to the URL that downloads the file
  • m
    looks like there is a way to do it in ajax, but htmx doesn't handle blobs currently: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4545311/download-a-file-by-jquery-ajax
  • a
    Okay, thought that too... Well, will use 
    HX-Redirect
    then, with a formed link. The trouble is that server that sends data back to be, sends it as 
    octet-stream
    , and there is no file formed. But that's not an htmx issue ofc xD
  • m
    You could maybe write a swap extension to deal with this
  • a
    Yup, digged that one, but came to conclusion that it would be better to do it 'the right way' =)) And the right one (and easier) is to accept the link and just redirect to that link.
  • m
    simple good mmm grug say
  • a
    lol

    Glad to see you're on DIscord. Last time it was gitter and intercooler 😄 Cheers.

    Hello guys, I would like to trigger the same script with 2 events : on load & on htmx:afterOnLoad, how can I do that ? is there any syntax that allows you to chain events like "on click or mouseenter log 10"
  • b
    That is what I'm doing today, thanks for pointers. I'm more of a backend person and wanted to avoid js at al costs by using htmx, but will have to get my hands dirty.
  • s
    A big thank you to Carson for advertising hypertext-driven-webdevelopment. We just had a meeting where we thought how implement something. Vuejs? ... maybe htmx? .... And then: html+http is enough. In this case we even decided to not use htmx. Just plain and boring and old html-forms are enough. No need for AJAX or json-APIs. Thank you all for keeping things simple!

    Hi all, I have a form which needs to be submitted whenever a checkbox is changed (appears as a toggle control). 
    checkbox.checked
    is altered by a JS function, but only checking/unchecking the checkbox manually seems to activate the 
    hx-trigger="change from:#checkbox-id"
    . Any guidance would be appreciated 🙏

    Hey everyone, just started exploring HTMX for a new project at work. I'd like to know if the following is a use case for HTMX. Basically when I show a toast (https://daisyui.com/components/toast/), I'd want the toast to fade out after, say, 3-5 seconds. Is this a good use case for HTMX?
