+# Bug when using HTMX Ajax Post request
+
+## Tags
+
+* type: bug
+* priority:  high
+* status: open
+* assigned: alexm
+* keywords: url
+
+## Description
+The issue occurs when you send a post request using HTMX javascript Api.this does
+not provide a well defined to handle errors from the callback
+A code snippet can be show below
+
+```js
+  htmx.on("#upvote", "click", function(evt){
+      vote_count = htmx.find(".btn-success") ? 0 : 1
+      htmx.ajax("POST", `/gnqna/rating/${task_id}/${vote_count}`, {target: "#rate", swap:"innerHTML",values: {'query': query, 'answer': answer}}).then(()=>{
+	  htmx.toggleClass(htmx.find('#upvote'), 'btn-success');
+	  htmx.removeClass(htmx.find("#downvote"), "btn-danger");
+})
+.catch((err)=>{
+alert("html")
+})
+});
+```
+In the above snipped incase of a response error you would expert the catch method
+method to be invoked but that doesn'tn occur
+This is the htmx docs which does not provide a proper error handling mechanism
+

+
+## Note
+the reason for using the htmx  javascript api is to toggle the rating class for
+both like and dislike functionality depending if the requests fails or succeeds
