Since there's no real link, there's nothing for the browser to store to remember that you've clicked upon it. In other words: I think you are out of luck.

is there any way to treat "link1" as a real link. so that color of the hyperlink can be changed?. or suggest any other way.

Ideally you would not write the link that way

@salvin francis

when i use this code


initially the "link1" is in blue color. after clicking "link2" and coming back the color of the "link1" remains in blue.

@Eric


when i use this the "link1" doesn't act like a hyperlink. i am unable to click the link.

No href means no link.

no href means no link.. i am clear with that.


color of the "link1" is changing in the active page. but when clicking the other link(link2) and coming back to the same page the color wasn't changed.
is there any way to change the color of the "link1" or any other way to highlight the visited link. (i.e) to show that this link is already clicked

The link has no clue if it was vsted since it has no entry in history. Only way to make sure it has color is you will have to do it yourself with cookies or backend coding.

My previous code got screwed by the jForum code. This is what it was supposed to look like:


inti() would have to cancel the event bubbling or it could use return false.

keep in mind though that href=# has a very nasty functionality of scrolling page to top.

Not if you cancel the click like I mentioned.

Wow thats interesting,
I havent tried that, but if that cancels the "scroll-to-top", then I really am impressed.
