hx-confirm doesn't work for plain form submits
When hx-confirm is used without hx-post or a similar attribute, then hx-confirm is ignored, even though it can be useful in regular non-htmx forms. Especially in pages that use hx-confirm to delete the entity where the page is about, you often don't want ajax requests, but just a simple plain non-ajax post.
For example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="htmx.1.9.6.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="get" action="/test.html">
<!-- This first button shows the confirm dialog when pressed -->
<input type="submit" hx-confirm="Sure?" value="button1" hx-get="" />
<!-- This second button does not show the confirm dialog when pressed -->
<input type="submit" hx-confirm="Sure?" value="button2" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Wouldn't it be better if hx-confirm also works if no other hx attributes are present?
Update: changed it to a better and more complete example.
I agree, there is no reason hx-confirm should not work here. Seems logical that it should work.
