Why do the visited states of my hyperlinks don't work?

Question

I have been trying for days and I can't figure it out with tutorials, teachers, google search and trail and error.
My hyperlinks will NOT show a visited state. I set up hyperlink styles, I named them, I applied them to the different text links in my copy and roll over works fine, they link as they are supposed to, but I can't get the visited state to appear. When I return back to the page, they are still all black.
Since this is for a end of the semester project and my entire project kinda builds on these states to work, without the visited states, the "map/timeline" I have created will not make any sense.
Is the anybody that knows what I am doing wrong and can give me a hint on what I should try?
Thanks!

Answer 1

I understood that the styles can only be appied to text, that is why I used actual text bullets (found in most fonts) that are type and not an image. Therefore I thought that the link styles should apply to them just like any other text would be.
By now I have tried applying the style to the text frame,... to the selected character itself,...I have tried in different orders in which I first applied the link, then the style, or first the style and then the link - I have tried it with deselecting in between and keeping it selected through out...I have used regular text, letters and numbers, I have even created an entirely new file without any editing to see if my file might have problems. Nothing changed the fact that the visited link did not change the color. I understand the security issues you have mentioned before, but just for an example, reddit is still using the visited state. There has got to be a way, just not one I will be able to find before I have to have this done.
Anyway, I certainly appreciate your feedback and I am looking forward in using Muse in the future. Even though it has quiet a few limitations, since this is just the beginning, there is a lot of promise for the future.
Would you mind looking at my other 2 questions?
...is there a dimension limit to how long I can make a horizontally scrollable webpage? For the ipad the image resolution is pretty big and so lining up 8-9 full background images back-to-back next to each other makes for a huge file. I tried it and started to have some issues with jumping text boxes. Could that be because of the file size?
Can I use page anchors to link from child pages back to a certain spot on the main "home", or are anchor points just for the navigation within one contained long page?
