That looks like a really fun project. In the early 90's (yes, I'm old) I was
commissioned to write a MacOS app for ticket sellers for venues where they
could click on a similar seat layout to toggle their status from available to
unavailable and be able to save the state and load it up later. (This was all
in C at the time.)
Today I write software for property management in RoR to reserve dates for
reservations for several hundred properties.
Anyway, for the purpose of your demo... you could cheat without using any JS
and without having to reload the page if you just want a visual effect?
Something like this:
<html>
<head>
<style>
a:visited {
background-color: yellow;
}
a:link {
background-color: pink;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p><a href="#1">Seat</a></p>
<p><a href="#2">Seat</a></p>
</body>
</html>
Good luck!
Phil
