JavaScript – Check if HTML Links is visited or not

The reason is pretty clear – History Theft !

function hasLinkBeenVisited(url) {

var link = document.createElement('a');

link.href = url;

document.body.appendChild(link);

if (link.currentStyle) { //IE

var color = link.currentStyle.color;

//alert("[IE] url:"+url+", color:"+color)

if (color == '#800080'){

return true;

}

} else { // Firefox

link.setAttribute("href",url);

var computed_style = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle( link, null );

if (computed_style) {

//alert("[FIREFOX] url:"+url+", computed_style.color:"+computed_style.color)

if (computed_style.color == 'rgb(128, 0, 128)')

{

return true;

}

return false;

}
