NEWBIE: How to determine if link has been visited earlier?

[marcokrechting]

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a page with hyperlinks and the code displayed
below is how I display the links. I want to add something to distingish
between links that have been visited and those who haven't. Some kind
of bullet.gif or something.
I want to save the visited links in a cookie and when the page is
opened that the links who have been visited are displayed different.
When I click a link this must be added to the cookie.

function HW(link,tekst,clipdata) {
target=telt();
if (wi==1) {
target="_top";
}

text2write = b2 + link + "'" + tag + target + "'";
text2write += "onclick='setClip(\"" + clipdata + returnDate() +
"\");";
text2write +=
"n(\""+target+"\",\""+"http://cww."+link+"\",\""+tekst+"\")'";
text2write += ">" + tekst + L;

h(text2write);

}

function setClip(clipdata) {
if (window.clipboardData) {
window.clipboardData.setData('text', clipdata);
}

<SCRIPT language=javascript>
HW('myweblink/2005/Rep','Reports 2005','MWL.BRIEF.2005.') Etc...
</SCRIPT>

}

Regards
