My app works, but when I add {pushState: true} to history.start it then only loads the initial request correctly. If the initial request route leads with a # it loads the route and removes the hash from the address bar. Any subsequent navigation however no longer works. None of the links that worked before "#foo" for instance, still work. Am I supposed to route manually when using PushState using router.navigate("foo", {trigger: true});?

If the initial request route leads with a # it loads the route and removes the hash from the address bar. Any subsequent navigation however no longer works. None of the links that worked before “#foo” for instance, still work.

Am I supposed to route manually when using PushState using router.navigate(“foo”, {trigger: true});?

Curious to see if you got rid of the router or not. Derick, did you ever write a follow up to this thread? Curious to see if you got rid of the router or not.

I tried Firefox 7, Opera, the lastest chrome and nada. Is this the expected behaviour?
