window.location.href is not working while clicking on hyper link  in IE

I was trying to redirect to a page while clicking on a hyper link with JQuery Ajax and java script windows.location.href

<a id="signout" href="">signOut<a/>

<script>
    $("#signout").click(function(){

                       $.ajax({
                        type : "POST",
                        async: false,
                        url : "/services/logout",                    
                        success : function() {
                                       window.location="/content/test/test.html";
 },
error : function() {
                                       window.location="/content/test/test.html";
}
});
    } );
</script>

This is working perfectly in both Firefox and Chrome but it is not working in IE.

In IE while redirecting the URL is stripped off to /content/test/(test.html got removed while performing the redirect)

The issue can be fixed as below by adding # in href attribute.

<a id="signout" href="#">signOut<a/>
