Solution 1:

You will avoid lots and lots and lots of pain if you are able to rename your files so they don't contain a "#" character. As long as they do, you will probably have current and future cross-browser issues, confusion on behalf of future developers working on your code (or confusion on your behalf in the future, when you've forgotten the ins and outs of the encoding), etc. Also, some Unix/Linux systems don't allow "#" in filenames. Not sure what OS you're using, but your filenames should be as portable as possible across OSs, even if you're "sure" right now that you'll never be running on one of those systems.
