Details

I could be nice with a feature to update the color of visited links with reloading the page. The scenario: I just browsed to a large page with many links to other sites. The page has this in the BODY tag: LINK="Yellow" VLINK="red" ALINK="yellow" I'd like to keep this page open and see some of the links. So whenever I open a link from that page, I always select "Open in a New Window". Then after opening a lot of the links I cant remember which one I'd already tried. The only way to change the color of the links that I already tried is to reload the page so that the VLINK comes into place. It could be nice with a function of something like that, that updated the colors of the visited links with me having to reload the page!

Link color is a style issue, not a layout issue. Marking as DUP of 19978 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 19978 ***
I dont really see this as a dup of 19978, since 19978 is about link color not working. My doesn't concern that. Mine is about a function to update the link colors with reloading....
It's still a style issue and so that's what I marked it as a DUP. Pierre can decide to treat them as different issues if he wants

this was not a dupe. Internet Explorer updates the color of the links on a page when you right click on a page.

to reproduce this problem: 1) go to http://cgi-lib.berkeley.edu/#book 2) right click on some links and say open in new window 3) go back to the original window 4) Now I need a option to change the color of the link in the original window to reflect that I actually visited the links that I opened in new windows. 5) IE does this change of link colors when you right click in the page.
