# being appended twice in IE8

[simondib]

I have a page:
http://www.mysite.com/page.html

And some tabs with href="#link" that are to be appended to the main URL.

In all modern browsers they are being correctly appended like this:
http://www.mysite.com/page.html#link

But in IE8 these are being appended to the window URL like this:
http://www.mysite.com/page.html#/#link

Any idea why?

Hi,

This is the correct behavior of the library. Since the first hash (#) is
needed for the proper operation of the history-api, the second hash (#) is
added for the proper operation of the simple hash-references.

Use history.location instead window.location that would get the right hash
value for using in JavaScript

So http://www.mysite.com/page.html#/#link is the correct URL in IE8? If so, this is going to give odd results in site tracking reports.

FYI I'm getting the hash from the tab's onclick through $(this).attr('href').

Yes, if you use hash links in page.

this is going to give odd results in site tracking reports.

Reports use the browser address bar?

I was curious if Google Analytics' event tracking would relay the URL from the browser location.history?

Thanks for the prompt replies in any case. Great library!
