[Resolved] Clear History...

[plasmahba]

Hi everybody!

Does anyone know is there any instruction, code or hint that can clear history of the browser automatically?

Thanks!!

[Gasolene]

there isn't.

php is a server side language, browser history is handled by the browser.

allowing programmers to delete browser history without concent of the visitor would be a big security issue.

Oh I see...

In that case, do you think that it exists a way to avoid the browser to save a page in the history?

Any idea?

[Gasolene]

again, your taking away control from the browser. I doubt you could force a browser not include a page in it's history list.

That would be like saying your not allowed to remember what TV show you watched last night.

there may some browser specific javascript commands (i doubt it), but they could be disabled by the client.

just curious, why you don't want a site in the users history list?

Hi Gasolene

Maybe you are wondering why I don´t want the site to be on the history and the answer is just a kinky thing from my client because they say that everytime that they visit the site they see all the links (where they have clicked before) in a different color in relation of the other ones.

So I found out that the only way to restore the "link colors" was cleaning the history folder

Kinda dump but clients....

[Gasolene]

if your only concern is the link color, then just do this...

<a href="http://someweb..." style="color: #00f;">my link</a>

or add this to top of page...

<style>
a {
  color: #00f;
}
</style>

all links will be blue

Thank you a lot Gasolene

I didn´t think in that option before...

:-P
