## `hx-post`
The `hx-post` attribute will cause an element to issue a `POST` to the specified URL and swap
the HTML into the DOM using a swap strategy:
```html
<button hx-post="/account/enable" hx-target="body">
Enable Your Account
</button>
```
This example will cause the `button` to issue a `POST` to `/account/enable` and swap the returned HTML into
the `innerHTML` of the `body`.
### Notes
* `hx-post` is not inherited
* You can control the target of the swap using the [hx-target](/attributes/hx-target) attribute
* You can control the swap strategy by using the [hx-swap](/attributes/hx-swap) attribute
* You can control what event triggers the request with the [hx-trigger](/attributes/hx-trigger) attribute
* You can control the data submitted with the request in various ways, documented here: [Parameters](/docs/#parameters)
