That is the behaviour of your browser. And your browser will compare the
full URL to see if it has been visited before. I guess you could work
around this by having forms the page and using POST to pass the data to
the pages, thus you keep the same URL even with different data. That's
how I'd look into getting it to work.

I don't think so. What i would do is remember on the serverside if a
link was already visited, and if so display the link styled with another
 class than an unvisited link.

You would then generate the links on the serverside (pseudocode):

if (MyApp.isVisitedLink(url)) {
  class="visited"
} else {
  class="link"
}
displayLink(url,class);


I.e.:
<a href="http://www.example.com/page.html" class="visited">Some Page</a>
<a href="http://www.example.com/p2.html" class="link">Other Page</a>

And "link" would style Links in blue and "visited" would style them in
green (or whatever else).

Thank you Upayavira for the response,

Do you think the encodeURL transformer would help me?
