Answer 1

You need to prevent a element to carry on its regular action and have backbone router route it.

I'll write the example using jQuery to outline what should happen:

$(document).on("click", "a", function(e)
{
    e.preventDefault(); // This is important

    var href = $(e.currentTarget).attr('href');

    router.navigate(href, true); // <- this part will pass the path to your router

});
