angularjs.org hangs IE9

[nealtovsen]

Viewing angularjs.org in IE9 (Win7) causes IE to "hang". It appears to be in an infinite redirect loop. The URL keeps changing from http://angularjs.org to http://angularjs.org/#!/ and back again.

The browser content is unresponsive but you can close the window if you do it reasonably quickly. The entire browser will eventually hang if you do not.

Using Microsoft-supplied VM, build 20131127, IE9 on Win7

Disclaimer: I'm an angular newb evaluating using angular for a new project, so I'm not savvy enough yet to debug yet...sorry!

Thanks for reporting this. I will look into it.

Clicking compatibility view stops this from happening...

Ahh but only because AngularJS then crashes and fails to load at all because $sce does not support IE9 in quirks mode :-)

The same thing (infinite loop of redirects) happens to IE8 as well.
