How to check visited link using jquery without using any plugin

How to check visited link using jquery without using any plugin please help to solve this problem

Solution

  • Just check if it has the :visited property

    if ($("a#theLink:visited").length) {
    //anchor tag with id of "theLink" has been visited
}

    edit: Remy Sharp has made a jquery plugin to help detect visited links.
