refreshing and visited links? - 10/3/2005 17:00:22
I'm sure this is going to be simple...
I want visited links on a page to be a distinct colour but I want them all to retrun to 'normal' when the page is refreshed - what's the obvious way?

The visited link color is there to show the site visitor he or she has visited this link previously. I am not sure if a refresh would accomplish what you want.
This has always troubled me when putting a page together, so now I have both the link and visited link the same color. Go figure.

Indeed, but what I want to achieve is something very specific for a particular project - too much to explain - but I just want a way of 'clearing' visited links and yet still want a distinct colour for them when they are used prior to 'clearing' them.
?

Put a note on to tell the visitor to clear their cache - otherwise you are trying to take control of the user's system and that is really not a Good Thing [tm]

That's an interesting one to note... does it mark them as visited in the session still or just doesn't apply the visited colour/formatting at all?

I threw together an example page code that does allow you to change the color behind the links using a simple JavaScript and some span tags.
I haven't tried integrating it into your page but the way I see it, it shouldn't be that difficult. You'd need a little more CSS to turn those links into boxes but hopefully you get the idea as to what I was talking about.
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
document.write('<style>');
if (document.layers) document.write('.region { position: relative; }');
document.write('<\/style>');
//--></script>
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function changeColor(id) {
if (document.getElementById) document.getElementById(id).style.backgroundColor = 'red';
else if (document.layers) document[id].bgColor = 'red';
else if (document.all) document.all[id].style.backgroundColor = 'red';
}
//--></script>
</head>
<body>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="140">
<tr>
<td width="20"><a href="javascript:changeColor('01');"><span id="01" class="region">01</span></a></td>
<td width="20"><a href="javascript:changeColor('02');"><span id="02" class="region">02</span></a></td>
<td width="20"><a href="javascript:changeColor('03');"><span id="03" class="region">03</span></a></td>
<td width="20"><a href="javascript:changeColor('04');"><span id="04" class="region">04</span></a></td>
<td width="20"><a href="javascript:changeColor('05');"><span id="05" class="region">05</span></a></td>
<td width="20"><a href="javascript:changeColor('06');"><span id="06" class="region">06</span></a></td>
<td width="20"><a href="javascript:changeColor('07');"><span id="07" class="region">07</span></a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="20"><a href="javascript:changeColor('08');"><span id="08" class="region">08</span></a></td>
<td width="20"><a href="javascript:changeColor('09');"><span id="09" class="region">09</span></a></td>
<td width="20"><a href="javascript:changeColor('10');"><span id="10" class="region">10</span></a></td>
<td width="20"><a href="javascript:changeColor('11');"><span id="11" class="region">11</span></a></td>
<td width="20"><a href="javascript:changeColor('12');"><span id="12" class="region">12</span></a></td>
<td width="20"><a href="javascript:changeColor('13');"><span id="13" class="region">13</span></a></td>
<td width="20"><a href="javascript:changeColor('14');"><span id="14" class="region">14</span></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>

). The folk there have various disabilities. They play some games that involve numbers and someone asked how do they dispaly LARGE numbers on a PC screen to show to a group in a largish room. Well, I took the thing in hand and am just designing a custom 'large number displayer' for them. 
That's your goodself ain't it?
