+++ title = "Click to Load" template = "demo.html" +++
This example shows how to implement click-to-load the next page in a table of data. The crux of the demo is the final row:
<tr id="replaceMe">
<td colspan="3">
<button class='btn primary' hx-get="/contacts/?page=2"
hx-target="#replaceMe"
hx-swap="outerHTML">
Load More Agents...
</button>
</td>
</tr>
This row contains a button that will replace the entire row with the next page of results (which will contain a button to load the next page of results). And so on.
