Using HTML5 pushState() in IE9

Question

Is there any way to use HTML5 History API (pushState) in IE9? If there is a solution for all other browsers that would be great!

Answer 1

As per Ember documentation about history api: http://emberjs.com/api/classes/Ember.Location.html

Browsers that support the history API will use HistoryLocation, those that do not, but still support the hashchange event will use HashLocation, and in the rare case neither is supported will use NoneLocation.

App.Router.map(function() {
  this.resource('posts', function() {
    this.route('new');
  });
});

App.Router.reopen({
  location: 'auto'
});

This will result in a posts.new url of /posts/new for modern browsers that support the history api or /#/posts/new for older ones, like Internet Explorer 9 and below.

When a user visits a link to your application, they will be automatically upgraded or downgraded to the appropriate Location class, with the URL transformed accordingly, if needed.
