OK... spent some time last night cobbling together a (very quick & kludgy)
Javascript technique for creating "visited" and "unvisited" graphical links...
that is, graphics that change colour when you click on them, indicating
that you've been to that link. Like text links do.
This uses cookies, as you might imagine, so it won't work if you have them
disabled. And it uses image rollovers, so it won't work in MSIE 3. Though
it doesn't break that browser either. (Well OK, the "Clear History" button
creates an error.) Haven't tested it in MSIE 4. Does work in NS 3, 4.07
and 4.5, at my end anyway.
This would obviously work better if I could directly access the user's
'browser history', but that's not possible without getting into signed
scripts. Not possible period in MSIE, I don't believe.
I don't know how useful this rather code-heavy approach might actually
be in the real world, but I thought it was interesting just to show that it
can be done. Sort of.

Would be interested to hear of any errors on others' systems.
