using javascript to mark a link as visited

by

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.
