Why the link clicked by <a href= "- sharp" > is not the current page, but the project root directory followed by-sharp

question: I wrote a login hyperlink href= "- sharp" on http://localhost:8080/ssm0702/user/getUsers. I thought he would jump to the current page, but it jumped to http://localhost:8080/ssm0702/-sharp.
Screenshot:

Page Code:

<%@ page language="java" import="java.util.*" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%
String path = request.getContextPath();
String basePath = request.getScheme()+"://"+request.getServerName()+":"+request.getServerPort()+path+"/";
%>

< base href= "<% = basePath% >" >


you set up base. for your page

<base href="<%=basePath%>">

but with or without base, pages will end up with-sharp, which is a standard-defined behavior. Based on your needs, you can do this

<a href="javascript:void(0)"></a>
