Stu Nicholls | CSSplay | Visited Menu

Information

Click any of the links to take you to one of the listed menu demonstrations. Then click your browser's back button to return to this page. You should then see the word 'visited' alongside the menu you selected.

This one is a bit special so you need to follow the instructions above to see how it works.
