  <p>I have a select box which when clicked changes the hash in the URL for my AJAX based page. I have a function that periodically checks window.location.hash for a change then updates the content accordingly. The following code is the function that changes the URL when the select is changed. It works in Firefox but I cannot get it to work in IE! I keep getting an Object doesn't support this property or method error:</p>
  
  <p>#ob is my select</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#ob").change(function() {
     ob = $(this).val();
     window.location.hash = "#ob=" + ob;
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any suggestions? Thanks!</p>
