Hx Validate

+++ title = "hx-validate" description = """
The hx-validate attribute in htmx will cause an element to validate itself using the HTML5 Validation API before it
submits a request.""" +++

The hx-validate attribute will cause an element to validate itself by way of the HTML5 Validation API before it submits a request.

Only <form> elements validate data by default, but other elements do not. Adding hx-validate="true" to <input>, <textarea> or <select> enables validation before sending requests.

Notes

• hx-validate is not inherited
