Yes, I thought it was a good point as well. I'll stand corrected but I do not think we can emulate the visited property when using a graphic.

There are a few ways to do it ... "I wonder if we'd have any luck with trying to apply a css:visited class to graphics" ... and good there are a couple, as you won't get it fully cross-browser with just one. One way is to declare the img as background {background:(url)} then flip it for :visited, probably have to get a spacer into a div for some older browsers. You could go through DOM also. Browser-sniff won't cover all the bases, as useragents are prone to lying these days; instead the more currently "hip" way is to query "whoever you are, does this method do anything for you? (No, use this one)" to return the functionality. Design-wise, they don't intetgrate well w/ the overall site ("hey, loook at mmy reallly biig heaavy dropp-shadowws") but that's an entirely different issue altogether now. <g>
