Checkmarked Links

Dec

I read an interesting article today by Chris Coyier on CSS Tricks. The idea he discusses in the article is using CSS to "checkmark" visited links so that visitors to your site have a clearer view of what links they have already followed.

The idea is to use "pseudo-pseudo" classes in modern browsers to insert a "check" symbol before the link. In other browsers not supporting :before it is simple to just use a background image. In all honesty I think I prefer the background image anyway as it can be more stylised to the look and feel of the site, as well as it being compatible with more browsers.
