Hey there. I used Newsvine last week and it was pretty cool. I noticed a feature I never found before and I thought it was cool enough for making a small tutorial. Here we go:
UPDATE: anty just sent me a better one, “no-repeat” (I forgot it!)! Thanks Anty!
What is it?
It’s a way to show your users and visitors they already have visited a link (or subpage) without the ugly purple default color scheme, instead a cool “ok” graphic is shown at the end of the link. It’s pretty basic and simple, but you can grow it from there.
Come here to try a functional demo.
So, how’s the CSS code?
This baby goes right into your CSS code. Now, it all depends on your current font choice (verdana, trebuchet, serif, georgia, etc) so don’t be surprise if the CSS doesn’t work right away and it look overplaced, you should play a little bit with the red value in the code below to get it right; but usually you don’t need to.
.visited a:visited {
background: url(visited.gif) no-repeat right 3px;
padding-right: 17px;
color: #909090;
}
.visited a:hover {
color: #4a4a4a;
}
And that’s it. Pretty easy uh? and you can use it everywhere across your site.
I like the idea and I like your download button ;)
