Help with Colorbox lightboxes 'already visted' link

PHP
1

Hi guys,

I’ve been trying to do this with CSS and had some great help from the guys in the CSS forum, but we found out it might be more possible with PHP.

I am using Colorbox, a lightbox JsQuery, to load an external PHP file. Basically, when a user has clicked on a thumbnail image and the page opens up the colorbox, when the user then closes it, I would like the padded background of the thumbnail to be a different color - almost like a ‘visited’ state (as I say, we tried it with CSS but couldn’t get it to work entirely).

Is there some PHP I can assign that says: if div class is clicked, display padded bg color #000000…?

Hope this makes sense!

Thank you and I hope to hear from you!

SM

Thinking about this again – without wanting to send you on a wild goose chase through every forum we’ve got – this is probably a Javascript question. Javascript can dynamically update the page and apply a ‘class’ to any image/link you’ve clicked on (although it isn’t persistent, so it won’t hold if you refresh the page or go to a different page then come back), but PHP can’t update the page as you go.
