Hi

I'm not sure if this is a Rails thing, browse thing, Apache thing or what, but whenever I load a page using #! in my app the # is removed from the url.

For example, I put this into the browse:

/browse/#!/color

press enter, and the resulting url is

/browse/!/color

when the page loads. Anyone know why?

Thanks

# is not allowed in the main part of a url, it signifies a bookmark/anchor. Try /browse/%23!/color though the %23 is from memory, google for url encoding if it is wrong.
