I'm not entirely sure if this query falls under the scope of this group, apologies for that. One of the points in accessibility checks is that information conveyed using colour is also conveyed without. The most common way of doing visited links is to have them be a slightly different colour. It's my opinion that in a purely visual sense (because I don't know how screen readers announce visited links) this approach is inaccessible. Roberto Scano: Visited link is a status that can be notified to the user via API. The problem is for the color-blindness people that don't use assistive technologies, IMHO. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
