using javascript to mark a link as visited
Here is how I did it. Only works in browsers that support HTML5 history api. // store the current URL current_url = window.location.href // use replaceState to push a new entry into the browser’s history history.replaceState({},””,desired_url) // use replaceState again to reset the URL history.replaceState({},””,current_url) Using replaceState means that the back button won’t be affected.
