Goal
- Facilitate the identification of content that has already been visited.
- Facilitate the identification of content that has yet to be explored.
- Encourage users to navigate to new pages.
Implementation
Apart from the navigation menus, do not apply the same default CSS styles for unvisited links (a
or a:link
selectors) and for visited links ( a: visited
selector). To do this: either provide a specific rendering for the links visited, or do not indicate a rendering rule for them (the default browser style can then be applied without difficulty).

Control
In each page containing hyperlinks:

: visited
selector is in the CSS style sheets and used, and that the style used is different from that applied toa
ora: link
or else; - Check that the
: visited
selector is not in the CSS stylesheets to let the default browser style apply
