The `hx-prompt` attribute allows you to show a prompt before issuing a request.  The value of
the prompt will be included in the request in the `HX-Prompt` header.

Here is an example:

```html
<button hx-delete="/account" hx-prompt="Enter your account name to confirm deletion">
  Delete My Account
</button>
```

## Notes

* `hx-prompt` is inherited and can be placed on a parent element
