Links not visited in IE with ajax

[liechtypo]

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

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.

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.
