pushstate is not working correctly in backbone.js

If I am using Backbone with pushsta开发者_运维知识库te, how should I format my links?

Currently I am doing this:

<a href="task/create">create task</a>

If I use the above format, it actually sends a GET request to the server, which serves a standard page and backbone correctly identifies that it should go to task/create, which it does, and shows the view.

But why is it sending a GET request in the first place? (even though I have set pushstate to true?)

edit: I am using the latest version of Chrome (as of August 2011), so my browser is not a problem, I think.

ok got it answered from here. https://github.com/documentcloud/backbone/issues/456

clicking links are not suppose to be pushstate friendly. one may try to live bind it via jquery and use custom function to create that effect.
