Description
In jquery, when you dynamically create links in a page whose href points to the very same page, the links do not show as visited in IE. I tried to create a jsfiddle example, but it doesn't work because of the nature of the example. I am hosting the example here:
http://www.patrickliechty.com/dev/jquery-link-bug.html
It uses the bbq history library to handle updating the page without a page refresh.
This happens in IE 7 and 8

Thanks for the report, but this is not a jQuery bug. The same behaviour can be demonstrated at this link which does not involve jQuery. Click the link, then refresh the page, and notice that IE “forgets” that it has been visited.

Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.

I need to add more explanation for the example. To reproduce, click page page 1 link 1. It will get rid of those links and create a new set. Click page 2 link 1. It will get rid of those links and create a new set or page. Click page 3 link 1 and it will take you back to page 1. Notice page 1 link 1 is not shown as visited. This only happens in IE 7 and 8. It works great in Firefox.
