PHP Link Fail

I had a friend call me up with an issue on her site. All of her pages are linked as follows:

http://www.brinkstreetphotography.com/site/#/home/
http://www.brinkstreetphotography.com/site/#/portraits/
http://www.brinkstreetphotography.com/site/#/contact/
etc...

This works fine in FF, but fails miserably in IE. If the '#' is removed, as IE is inclined to do for you, the link fails. I can answer question related to directory structure, etc. I am not a PHP guy, but I can work my way around with a little prodding. :)

Why is the # there? How do I get rid of it and still access the link?

Here's the code from the htaccess at the root of the site directory.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

# Enables mod_rewrite
RewriteEngine on

# Sets the base folder of the site
RewriteBase  /jackson/site/

RewriteCond  %{REQUEST_FILENAME}    !-f
RewriteCond  %{REQUEST_FILENAME}    !-d
RewriteRule  .*                     index.php

</IfModule>

I'm off to bed. I'll check this again tomorrow. Thanks for the input so far. :)

I really wonder what do you mean by "This works fine in FF, but fails miserably in IE" because I checked to open those links in both IE8 and FF3.6.x and they both looks fine.

If the '#' is removed then all links will fail both in IE and FF.

Why is the # there?
Well, I think it works like the anchor tag in your flash file. I believe you might seen such link like this :
http://www.someothersite.com/index.html#topofthepage

How do I get rid of it and still access the link?
I think you should ask your programmer to modify the flash file and assign a new linking for each of tha pages.
