I don't see how a cookie changes it a lot... Generally speaking, aren't
things "visited" as long as they are in the cache?  Neither one goes across
actual browsers (like FF to IE or Chrome)... You'd need a database/login for
that kind of guarantee - but I get the impression that he's merely looking
for something simple to visually keep track of it while a user is on the
page or maybe even next time someone comes back.  He should be able to
accomplish that with :visited ... I just misunderstood which one he wanted
to hide.
