Question

I’m using History.js for jQuery in the following way (v1.7.1, html4+html5 bundle)

preparation at the the top of my js file:

(function(window,undefined){

    // Prepare
    var History = window.History; // Note: We are using a capital H instead of a lower h
    if ( !History.enabled ) {
         // History.js is disabled for this browser.
         // This is because we can optionally choose to support HTML4 browsers or not.
        return false;
    }

    // Bind to StateChange Event
    History.Adapter.bind(window,'statechange',function(){ // Note: We are using statechange instead of popstate
        var State = History.getState(); // Note: We are using History.getState() instead of event.state
        History.log(State.data, State.title, State.url);
    });

})(window);

then further down in my code:

    $foo.click(function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        History.pushState({}, "", "?" + bar);
    });

basically what I want to achieve is, every time certain items are clicked, the querystring "?" + bar is appended to the url and the pushState stores it in the browser history. This works perfectly fine in FF latest but when testing it in IE7, the following alert-like message appears:

the url in the popup is the one I’m expecting, even though in the browser it appears as

http://www.foobar.com/.../#?Fixed

that is, with an extra hash. what worries me, though, is the error message – any clues?

Just for the records, if anyone happens on this page again – I’ve isolated the script and the error didn’t happen anymore. After a long and tedious testing, I discovered that it was caused by a clash with a proprietary jquery plugin, and fixed it.
