Reply To: IE + popstate… hmmm

You could try the ‘hashchange’ event which is fired with the hash part of the URL changes, as opposed to ‘pop state’ which is fired when a new entry in the history is added (such as when clicking an anchor element.)

You could also rip the history API detection from Modernizr or roll your own to detect whether pop state is available.

if (window.history && window.history.pushState) {
   // bind pushstate stuff
} else {
  // bind hash change stuff
}

I’m not sure if this actually would solve your issue but it’s a starting point.

Cheers
