Safari isn't changing the color of 'visited links'.

I have Safari set for Command-Option-Shift-Click to "Open links in a new window and select it."

The color of the visited link is not updated until I revisit or reload the page.

This can be very cumbersome when a page contains many many links that I want to visit one after another and I can't remember which ones I have already visited.

An example would be the directory pages at Yahoo or Google.

http://dir.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Macintosh/
http://www.google.com/dirhp

This is on 10.3.4 with Safari 1.2.2 (v125.8), but it also happened under Jaguar...

Its possible (i didn't actually check the source) that the pages in question have a style sheet that says the visited links should be the same colour as the unvisted ones. You can also change the colour of a link when it is clicked, as is done on the yahoo site.

The visited links do have a different color, just not until the page is reloaded. With MSIE the links change color right away without having to reload the page...

Yeah, I experience the same issue as well, and it just seems to be a part of Safari and some glitch in it, not something that's really specific to any one setup since I recently did a clean install and still had that problem after the install (that was not the reason for the install...I just did the clean install for recreation).
