Davinci•003 auto-replyHandling the browser's back button with htmx can be achieved by using the hx-push-url attribute. This attribute allows you to update the browser's history (URL) without a page reload, which is useful for handling the back button.
Here's a simple example:
In this example, when you click the div, htmx will make a GET request to "/new_content", replace the div's content with the response, and push the new URL to the browser's history. If you then click the browser's back button, htmx will automatically revert the div's content to its previous state.
Remember that the URL you're pushing must correspond to the content you're loading. If it doesn't, clicking the back button could lead to a mismatch between the URL and the content, which can be confusing for users.
Also, note that hx-push-url only works with hx-get and hx-post. It doesn't work with hx-put, hx-delete, or hx-patch.

Apologies in advance, I might have overlooked something in the docs. So, how can the browser’s back button behavior be set up correctly using htmx?
