Re: [fossil-users] external links
I agree with that idea, but for people wanting to replicate the arrow or having something similar as prefix or suffix to the link would mean most likely resorting to using the content CSS attribute, something that is notorious for not working across all browsers. Ah well, you can't keep everyone happy. ~ James On 2 Nov 2009, at 11:02, Dmitry Chestnykh wrote: Yeah, I can see the arrow, but it look strange to me.

Are you kidding Richard? Unicode is only 8 years old as a standard. It'll be at least another 20 before people finally get it (semi-)right. 2009/11/2 D.

When I bring up IE (using VMWare) I see that the = symbol in the last two rows of the table at http://www.sqlite.org/draft/fileformat2.html#serialtype works correctly but that the check-mark symbols at http://www.sqlite.org/draft/fileformat2.html#cellformat do not work.

You can use a different image for visited links and unvisited links,
though, right?
Well, you can always do something like:
.external_link a{background: url('http://example.com/link.gif') no-
repeat top right;}
.external_link a:visited{background: url('http://example.com/link_visited.gif')
no-repeat top right;}
Or, you can use a transparency hack + setting the background colour,
which only works if your parent's background colour is defined
correctly. For as long as you keep it a GIF image (to avoid IE 6's
issue with PNG transparency), it's also possible and negates the need
to modify the image to change colours.
