 * Hi plugin works great thanks.
 * Although when I view it in any Internet Explorer version and AJAX to a page, 
   the URL bar does not update with the new page address, it works in all other 
   browsers though.
 * Is this a known issue or is it something wrong with my site?
 * Cheers

 * This is asked time and time again, Internet Explorer has no support for address
   bar updates, so it is entirely NOT POSSIBLE to get IE to do this 🙁
 * Just don’t use IE. It cheats you out of allot of nice things such as this.

 * there should/could be a workaround with history.js i think
 * at least i have used it (few years ago) and it updates the IE adressbar..

 * [@dean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dean/): oh i see you posted about
   that a few month ago.. seems like IE still needs the old onhashchange..
 * for now i have disabled AAPL for IE Users
    (function AAPL_loadPageInit(scope){
   if (!$.browser.msie ){ … }})
 * maybe i figure out a way to integrate IE, if i’ll post it here.

 * I’ve been trying something for IE as well. Maybe I’m thinking too simple, but
   with jQuery you can store the value of the clicked link. All that needs to happen
   after that is to update the url adress bar with that stored value.
 *     ```
       jQuery('a').on('click', function(){
           var hash = jQuery(this).attr('href');
           window.location = hash;
       });
       ```
   
 * If you put that in ajax-page-loader.js right above
 *     ```
       if (AAPL_warnings == true) {
       					alert("BROWSER COMPATIBILITY: \n'pushState' method not supported in this browser, sorry about that!");
       ```
   
 * it kinda works. But for some reason only after a double click…so something is
   still missing…
