":visited" is a pseudo class, not an attribute, and cannot be directly
added to a link. In order to have control of how links look when they
are clicked or visited is to assign your own class. From what I
understand, you want to assign a class of "current" to any link that
is clicked. When another link is clicked, you want to assign it a
class of "current" but also remove the "current" class from all other
links. Is that right?
The code sample I provided does just that, or should do that, I didn't
actually test it. The "current" class should persist until another
link is clicked. Maybe I'm not fully understanding what you are trying
to do.
Let me know if I understand what you are trying to accomplish, then we
can go from there.
