I have implemented my website's search results with AJAX, using History.js. For HTML5 browsers, I have URLs like http://example.com/search/X6a2/3
, which, in browsers not supporting the History API, does fall back nicely to http://example.com/search/#X6a2/3
.
However, if a HTML5 URL is opened in an older browser, the new hash tag is appended to the full URL as soon as the page is changed. (for example http://example.com/search/X6a2/3#/X6a2/4
- ugh!)
All I need is a clean way to redirect to the hash tag-only version as soon as a non-HTML5 browser is detected. window.location.replace()
seems to ignore the hash tag. What do I do?
