Older versions of IE don't support hashchange, so you have to cheat by using setInterval to poll a few times a second and check if it's changed.

if($.browser.msie && $.browser.version < 7){
    setInterval(function(){
        if(window.location.hash != window.lastHash){
            hashChangeHandler();
            window.lastHash = window.location.hash;
        }
    }, 100);
}
else{
    $(window).bind('hashchange',function() {
        if (location.hash != '#visits') {
            hashChangeHandler();
        }
    }
}
