    I never saw it in a action but it means “same directory” just like “..” means previous directory.

    If the filename is omitted on the action (action="") the form simply redirect on the same file, using the . otherwise the form redirect on the same directory without file name…

    File http://localhost/index.html

    <form action="">  // redirect on http://localhost/index.html?
<form action="."> // redirect on http://localhost/?
