Reset visited links

One little design detail is code the controls how a text link appears after
it has been visited. If in the course of my work I've visited all my links,
or even most of them, I can't see the web site as a normal visitor would,
with most or all of the links unvisited. Is there a handy way (without
resetting my entire web history) to tell FP or IE to reset links in a
particular site -- i.e. display them as unvisited links until I visit them
again?
 
Clear your browser cache.

I think they need to clear their history, not the cache. And they said
they'd rather not clear their entire history.

Might I suggest an alternative browser, perhaps? Something you don't use
for regular surfing, so the history doesn't matter. It would also give you
the chance to test your pages in other browsers which is a good idea anyway.

Take a look at Mozilla and/or Firebird:

Good luck!
 
Since you don't want to clear your history
files, use CSS to make the visited links the
same color as the un-visited links.

This will make them always blue,
except when hovered they will be red.
<style>
a{
text-decoration: none;
}
a:link {
color: blue;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
color: blue;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
background-color: transparent;
color: red;
text-decoration: none;
}
</style>
 
Jack,

Thanks for the correction.
