> many people who've talked to me about Htmx are confused about what Htmx is and believe that it works without javascript
The htmx landing page's first paragraph says 'htmx gives you access to AJAX...'
AJAX stands for 'Asynchronous JavaScript And XML'.
Close below that, it has a 'quick start' section that shows how to install it, using a `<script>` tag.
For people who think it works without JavaScript, I am afraid they are facing deeper issues than htmx's tagline.
The htmx landing page says,
>htmx gives you access to AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets and Server Sent Events directly in HTML, using attributes, so you can build modern user interfaces with the simplicity and power of hypertext
I hope you see how the full context can make it sound like it's HTML based and not javascript based, even if, yes, AJAX and WebSockets are JS things.
