visited site history 1

[starfishh]

Hi all,

Im wondering if anyone knows what controls whether a site address is held in a browsers visited site history.

For example in IE5 what defines which addresses appear in the drop down menu on the address bar. It would appear that some site addressess are remembered and others arent. Why is this?

Is there anyway that I can force the browser to remember my site after visiting it and keep the address in the site history?

Perhaps a META tag?

Or is this a Javascript question?

Any thoughts on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Well, I don't know about forcing a browser to remember your page, but it's been my experience that if you actually type a web address in, and then hit return to visit it, it will be saved in that dropdown box, whereas if you hit a link, it won't.

Even the links you visit are kept in the same history. If you start typeing an address up there you will get a drop down of not just the sites that you typed in, but also the ones you have visited. Here is a bit of my history:

There may be something special that determines when it will be saved. If there is a way to "write" an URL to the address bar, so that it is as if the user typed it in, that would do it. But, like you see above, it will just store everything. Daniel Shackelford

There is a command to force a url into the history, but it replaces the current url, and forces that page to load. Check out the history.replace command. Meddle not in the affairs of dragons,
