Use jQuery to Select Visited Links

Question

I'm trying to select all visited links via jQuery. Here is the HTML

<div class="question-summary">
    <a class="question-hyperlink">Stuff</a>
</div>

If question-hyperlink has been visited, I was to select question-summary. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Check out Remy Sharp's jquery.visited.js plugin.

Answer 2

Here is the selection:

$("a:visited").parent(".question-summary")

Usage example:

$("a:visited").parent(".question-summary").addClass("is_visited");
