Greetings.

Please see <http://pjr.gotdns.org/verse/16-poems>.

If I click one of the links in the "Contents" list at the top, then
click the "top" link in the bar at the bottom, the link from
"Contents" isn't marked visited, and neither is the link in the
navigation bar.

However, if I then refresh the page, the links are marked visited.

Is this normal behaviour, or am I doing something wrong? If it's
normal behaviour, can I change something so that the links are marked
visited? At present readers who jump around the page instead of
reading in the suggested sequence are likely to forget which parts
they've read.

Here are the relevant CSS rules from
<http://pjr.gotdns.org/verse/main.css>:

div#nav a:link {
color: white;
background: black;
}
div#nav a:visited {
color: silver;
background: black;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}

Here are links if you want to bypass content negotiation:
HTML 4.01: http://pjr.gotdns.org/verse/16-poems.html
XHTML 1.1: http://pjr.gotdns.org/verse/16-poems.xhtml

Of course, if anybody notices other problems, I'll be pleased to hear
about them.
