reload other page when click button "refresh"

Question

In current page, add button "Refresh"

Process: when user click this button "Refresh", then this page link "https://abc.io/123" refreshed and do not open this link (not new page), still sttay on current page.

My code don't work:

<a href="https://abc.io/123" onClick="window.location.reload();return false;">
<i class="fas fa-sync-alt fa-1.5x" aria-hidden="true" style="color:#0000FF;"></i><span style="color:blue;"> Refresh</span>
</a>

How can do it?

Thanks

First of all onClick should be onclick . This will reload the page, except if the DOMException gets thrown, which blocks the reload. You can read more about it here . By default, the page gets reloaded from the browser cache. To force reload it from the server, pass true to window.location.reload() .

 <a href="https://abc.io/123" onclick="window.location.reload(); return false;"> <i class="fas fa-sync-alt fa-1.5x" aria-hidden="true" style="color:#0000FF;"></i><span style="color:blue;"> Refresh</span> </a>

If you intend to open the link as well, return true from the onclick function.
