Sunil,
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "refresh hyperlinks".
Do you mean refresh a document by clicking on a hyperlink?
Or maybe you mean you want to change the HREF that a hyperlink points to using JavaScript?
Or even change the onscreen text that is hyperlinked using JavaScript?
If you can be more precise, I could most likely help you out.

Try a massage.
They'll be sitting there happily on the page for days, saying "Man, I feel *so* refreshed."

Hi Dan
I am sorry that I was not specific. I have an ASP application and what I would like to do is refresh the hyperlinks after they have back into the application having logged out. If there is a technique for doing this and you know then your help would be most appreciated.
Kind regards Sunil

Sunil,
I still don't understand what you mean by refreshing the hyperlinks. You'll need to try and explain what you mean.

you mean keep the visited links from having the "visited" link color?
if so, this is controlled by the browser's setting for how long to cache the history, and not available to javascript.
what you can do however is use css to control the look of your links - this will make all links blue, always:
<style type="text/css">
a {color:#0000ff;}
</style>

try { succeed(); } catch(E) { tryAgain(); }

By reading the other threads you have started, I will assume that your question could be rephrased:
"I wish to keep the colour of the hyperlinks the same regardless of whether the user has visited the link or not."
If this is indeed what you are asking, then you could include the following CSS definition in the <head> section of your html page:
This will ensure they stay the same color regardless.

PS: The massage does sound like a better option, however.

Hi
When a person clicks on a link it changes colour to show that they have visited a particular link. When a link has not been visitied it remains blue and a visited link is purple; so by refreshing i mean that When a user logs back in to the application I would like to set ALL links to be blue. I hope i am more clear on this occassion.

How about having 2 classes assign one on reload/refresh
the other onClick like:
the other onClick like:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html><head><title>TEST</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.nw{text-decoration: none; color: #0000FF;}
.vis{text-decoration: none; color: #FF00FF;}
-->
</style></head><body>
<a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.msn.com"[/URL] target="_blank" class='nw'
onClick="this.className='vis';">GO</a>
</body></html>
2b||!2bI do not know a way of maintaining the blue/purple colors and then forcing them to be all reset next time they visit.
My code above will keep them all the same color no matter what... this would seem an ideal workaround.

if you really want to increase the complexity of your app for not much more than cosmetic gain, you can go server-side since you're already using asp.
make a database table for your links, one for your users, and a join table for the two with a visited flag. upon each page view, check the join table to see if the user has "seen" this link yet, and render the appropriate color.
my advice is just force all links to one color with css.

Maybe you could timestamp all your links. I know it'll work in Mozilla, but I'm not sure about IE.
JS is a shitty tool for this though. Usually I'd tell ya to do it with a session ID.
HTH.
PS The code above uses month-day-hours, but you could just change that to whatever you want.
Code:
window.onload = function() {
var date = new Date();
var stamp = date.getMonth() + "-" + date.getDay() + "-" + date.getHours();
els = document.getElementsByTagName( "a" );
for( var i=0; i < els.length; i++ ) {
els[ i ].href += "?" + stamp;
}
