hashbang

I have an angularjs (v 1.2.19) application that consists of two separate html pages (or actually these are two seperate angularjs apps in one folder): index.html edit.html I am having some well-known compatibility issues on IE 8 and 9 (both do not support the html5 history API). My config contains: $locationProvider.html5Mode(true).hashPrefix('!'); I do not have any routing in the application - index.html and edit.html can be seen as separate angularjs apps - that have separate angularjs initialization, etc. The problem looks like this: Whenever I open the link: http://server/app or http:/

I'm trying to download the HTML of a website that is almost entirely generated by JavaScript. So, I need to simulate browser access and have been playing around with PhantomJS . Problem is, the site uses hashbang URLs and I can't seem to get PhantomJS to process the hashbang -- it just keeps calling up the homepage. The site is http://www.regulations.gov . The default takes you to #!home. I've tried using the following code (from here ) to try and process different hashbangs. if (phantom.state.length === 0) { if (phantom.args.length === 0) { console.log('Usage: loadreg_1.js <some hash>');

A company I'm working for had a WIX based site. I recreated the site on WordPress moved the hosting and redirected the domain. I then attempted to do the page redirects to the new URLs on the WordPress site with the standard .httaccess file 301 redirects. Redirect 301 /#!product/prd1/1063533171/42%22-workstation-(mc-42) http://www.mydomain.com/product/workstation/ I have now found that WIX uses a hashbang (#!) in the url link structure. How can I execute my 301 redirects and retain my previous page rank? i managed to redirect from wix to wordpress by adding this code (by Themee) to the

I am looking to move my site into full async document loading, but I don't want to use the #! method of request processing because 1) I don't want to break links, and 2) I want a more flexible way of processing the URIs the site gets. I've been able to build a light MVC for my site that allows a common-style url ( ex: http://ddrewdesign.com/blog/jquery-is-or-is-child-of-function ) to make the correct requests. My question is: this was trivially easy to do. What am I missing? Why did Gawker and Google opt for #! when this method seems to make more sense from a user experience perspective? EDIT

I am using Sammy.js for my single page app. I want to create functionality similar to SO (the one when you type your question and try to leave the page and it is asking you if you are sure). If it would not be a single page app, I would just do something like: $(window).bind('beforeunload', function(){ return 'Are you sure you want to leave?'; }); The problem is that in single page app user do not actually leave the page, but rather changing his document.location.hash (he can leave the page by closing it). Is there a way to make something similar for a SPA, preferably with sammy.js? We had a
