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