Yeah, any website that uses JavaScript to load page elements needs to solve this. My hope is that a library like HTMX can help reduce the friction in implementing the best possible patterns for doing so.

See the proposed moveBefore API [1] which is meant to solve those issues at the platform level. In the meantime, htmx has their morphdom extension, which I’d say is a must when replacing any page content with interactive elements within. Aside from that one major gotcha, the main issues with htmx are the poor accessibility of the examples in the docs [2]. In particular seeing so much ARIA without the corresponding keyboard support.
