No. If a clean reload was the requirement, I would use a proper button
and form to do a POST. I can worry about styling the button to make it
prettier, later. But I think it's generally better to get the
functionality right and then worry about polish and performance (not
that that's an issue here), than to get things all pretty-like and then
worry about actually making them work.

Yeah, the problem description is a shade ambiguous.
