// Use absolute URLs to navigate to anything not in your Router.
// Note: this version works with IE. Backbone.history.navigate will automatically route the IE user to the appropriate hash URL

// Use delegation to avoid initial DOM selection and allow all matching elements to bubble
$(document).delegate("a", "click", function(evt) {
  // Get the anchor href and protcol
  var href = $(this).attr("href");
  var protocol = this.protocol + "//";

  // Ensure the protocol is not part of URL, meaning its relative.
