Question

I have a somewhat odd problem. I have the following Backbone routes:

  routes:
    "" : "index"
    "foo" : "index"

The URI at which I’m working is /appointments/backbone. Here’s what’s weird:

• If I navigate to /appointments/backbone in either Chrome or Safari, it works just fine; it’s hitting the first route.
• If I navigate to /appointments/backbone#/#foo in Chrome it works, but in Safari it doesn’t. It converts the URI to /appointments/backbone/#/%23foo and I get an error in a show_view.js, even though I’m not doing anything remotely related to a show view. Visiting /appointments/backbone#asdf or any other gibberish URI produces the same exact error.

I imagine I’m just making some simple mistake. What’s going on?

Answer 1

I’ve been wrestling with this for hours, and now, literally two minutes after I posted the question, I’ve figured out the solution.

Instead of /appointments/backbone#/#foo, I need /appointments/backbone#foo.
