## `ic-attr-src` - The Attribute Source Attribute

### Summary

The `ic-attr-src` attribute binds a given HTML element's attribute to a URL. It does not cause any requests to happen by itself, but it can respond to events caused by other attributes.

When Intercooler issues a request for an element with an `ic-attr-src`, it will issue a `GET` and will replace the current element attribute value with resulting text fragment.

### Syntax

The value of the attribute should be a valid attribute name, followed by a colon, then a valid relative path (e.g. `ic-attr-src="style:/foo/bar"`).

### Dependencies

`ic-attr-src` implies a dependency on its path, and Intercooler will issue requests for elements whenever it detects an action that the path depends on. See Dependencies for more information.

### Example

Here is a simple example, using a poll interval to update:

      <div ic-style-src="style:/style" ic-poll="1s">Cause you move to a different sound</div>
