[patch][ccla]hash.js fails to dispatch event in IE7 if new hash contains %23

[cvogt]

In IE7 when the hash changes to a value which contains %23 (encoded '#') then hash.js fails to dispatch an event.

My test started with a hash value of "#foo=bar" and when the value changed to "#foo=%23bar" I never received any event.

At line 174:

if(ifrOffline

iframeLoc.search === expectedIFrameQuery){

This condition is never satisfied because expectedIFrameQuery has a value of "?foo=#bar" and iframeLoc.search has a value of "?foo=".

This problem breaks our web app navigation in IE7 for many scenarios. Is there any chance this can be looked at and planned soon?

I am working on a fix to this now.
