# HX-Retarget

The `HX-Retarget` response header overrides the element that will receive the swapped content, replacing whatever `hx-target` was set on the triggering element.

## Syntax

```http
HX-Retarget: #new-target
```

The value is a CSS selector for the new target element.

## Example

Redirect a form submission result to a different container:

```python
return Response(
    content,
    headers={'HX-Retarget': '#notifications'}
)
```

## Notes

- Overrides `hx-target` on the source element
- Evaluated after the response is received, before swapping
