target input type text should set the value attribute

[flibustenet]

It was this old issue, i believe it didn't change ? Should we use outerHTML only or is there a way to swap to value ?

I'm guessing that outerHTML works for you and you are looking for a HTMX to always treat hx-swap="innerHTML" on inputelements asouterHTML`?

outerHTML works, but it could be fine that innerHTML on an input box change the value of the input.

I think this would be best as it follows the principle of least surprise.

As a work-around:

  document.addEventListener("htmx:beforeSwap", e => {
    if (e.detail.target.tagName === 'INPUT') {
      e.preventDefault();
      e.detail.target.value = e.detail.serverResponse;
    }
  });
