RE: How Do I Display The Word Visited On A Link

Marvin,
Are you asking about how to get screen readers to voice "visited" on
visited links? If so, you don't need to do anything - this
functionality is provided by the assistive technology. I'd suggest
against adding "visited" to the anchor (in a span or via CSS) unless you
can be sure that screen readers will not voice it. It wouldn't be a
significant barrier to have to hear "home visited visited link", but it
would get old fast.
