Link to reload current page

Question

Is it possible to have a normal link pointing to the current location   I have currently found 2 solutions  but one of them includes JavaScript and in the other you have to know the absolute path to the page    lt a href     onclick  window location reload true    gt 1 lt  a gt   lt a href   foobar   gt 2 lt  a gt   lt a href     gt 3  of course not working  lt  a gt    Is there any way of doing this  without using JavaScript or knowing the absolute path

I use JS to show only the div with a specific id in the tags page in a jekyll site  With a set of links in the same page  you show the corresponding element   function hide others            div item   hide        selected   location hash slice 1       if  selected                    selected  show              else          div item   show              links use links like    lt a href  javascript window location href   tags html    tag 0    -ref   hide others    gt    tag 0     lt  a gt

I have been using    lt a href     gt link lt  a gt    Have yet to find a case and or browser where it does not work as intended   Period means the current path  You can also use    to refer to the folder above the current path  for instance  if you have this file structure   page1 html folder1     page2 html   You can then in page2 html write    lt a href     page1 html  gt link to page 1 lt  a gt    EDIT   I m not sure if the behaviour has changed or if it was always like this  but Chrome  and maybe others  will treat periods as described above as regarding directories  not files  This means that if you are at http   example com foo bar html you are really in the directory  foo  and a href value of   in bar html will refer to  foo  rather than bar html  Think of it as navigating the file system in a terminal  you can never cd into a file     EDIT 2   It seems like the behaviour of using href     is not as predictable anymore  both Firefox and Chrome might have changed how they handle these  I wouldn t rely entirely on my original answer  but rather try both the empty string and the period in different browsers for your specific use and make sure you get the desired behaviour

You can use a form to do a POST to the same URL     lt form  method  POST  name  refresh  id  refresh  gt    lt input type  submit  value  Refresh    gt    lt  form gt    This gives you a button that refreshes the current page   It is a bit annoying because if the user presses the browser refresh button  they will get a do you want to resubmit the form message

None of the other answers will preseve any querystring values  Try   lt a href  javascript window location href window location href  gt    Admittedly this does involve javascript but  unless your users have script disabled  this is pretty straightforward
