## `ic-post-to` - The Post-To Attribute

### Summary

The `ic-post-to` attribute binds the default action (see below) of HTML element to a `POST` to the given URL. For example, on a button, when the button is clicked, an AJAX `POST` will be issued to the given URL.

{% include action_common.html %}

### Syntax

The value of the attribute should be a valid relative path (e.g. `ic-post-to="/foo/bar"`).

### Dependencies

`ic-post-to` 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, with a span that depends on the updated URL:

      <button ic-post-to="/target_url">Click Me!</button>

      <span ic-src="/target_url">You haven't clicked yet...</span>

You haven't clicked yet...
