Question

I’m using Backbone.js’s routing.
It generate urls for browsers like this:

http://my-app.com/help

For Internet Explorers (except IE10) and old non-HTML5 browsers:

http://my-app.com/#help

How to configure Backbone.js to generate fallback urls with additional slash, like this?:

http://my-app.com/#/help

Answer 1

I do believe that your 2nd code block is entirely different than the 3rd. The preceding slash is set on the property name.

routes: {
    "help":                 "help",    // #help
    "search/:query":        "search",  // #search/kiwis
    "search/:query/p:page": "search"   // #search/kiwis/p7
  }

is different than:

routes: {
    "/help":                 "help",    // #/help
    "/search/:query":        "search",  // #/search/kiwis
    "/search/:query/p:page": "search"   // #/search/kiwis/p7
  }
