[Seaside] Problem with visited links

[Johan Brichau]

You can also keep reference of the visited ‘pages' in the session state and generate the anchors with a css class to color them yellow.
For example, if the links are in a menu component, you can keep the already visited menu items in the session state and render the menu items differently using that information.

I think that would be easier than hand-crafting the urls, unless you implement a complete ‘Seaside-Router’ package, which would be very interesting of course.

Open your web browser's Developer tools and look at the links that were rendered by seaside: they contain URL parameters that are unique for every render (the part after the ? in the href parameter), so technically, the link is never visited, because every time you render that page, the URL parameters will be different (this is a simplification with edge cases and people can start picking on me, but you get the picture).
