Brian has made a good point, a link on the right would expand out of view, even if it was the one you want to remain. However he's indicated using z-index too which with the right CSS tweeks could hide the unwanted link out of sight.

Oh I see - I think I misread... Sorry :) But yes, I think the idea would still be to use visited somehow. I don't think that what is described here would necessarily work though - would it? I mean, if the one clicked were on the right, it wouldn't really have any visible impact (it would just grow out of the viewable area and be clipped). I think you would have to also
position it and lay it on a higher layer to hide it.

Hi,

Just an idea, but might be a bit far fetched:

The link you don't want needs to be visible at the start, and then after another link is clicked to disappear. I think that if both links were in a div with a set width and height you could change the CSS for the 'visited' link to increase in size, and sort of knock the other link out of sight.

for example a 200px wide container containing to block links at 100px wide each. Once one link has been visited it becomes 200px wide, pushing the
other link into overflow hidden and like magic, it's gone.

does that make sense?

Subject: [css-d] Making A Link Disappear When Revisited By A Reader
To: <css-d@lists.css-discuss.org>


I am writing a novelette and want to have two endings to the story. I
also want to have the reader choose one answer and not be able to go
back and read the one they did not choose later. So I want the link to the ending they did not choose disappear after they make their choice.
How would I go about doing that with CSS, or could I?

I have thought of having a page they go to to make their initial choice,
then they would go to the page for the ending they chose which would
have a link back to the choice page BUT that page would have only the link to the one they chose and the one they did not choose would be gone
(because the page to go back to would be another page, really).

I hope I explained it sufficiently. It's a simple concept, I just want the reader to make up their mind and not be able to go back to read the other ending. Thanks for any inputs on this. I am afraid I am stumped. _
