I've noticed that Google uses JavaScript to pass information to their servers for processing. I can only imagine they're passing back the HTTP request of the current request to pull the data from to track sessions, page views, time spent, etc. Does anyone have an idea of how they're actually doing this?

i'm currently pitching some website development. The majority of this site is behind a paywall (meaning users must pay subscription to view the content). There is much talk about google analytics being used. I can't help but wonder a few things about this:
1) does google analytics function correctly behind a paywall -- i.e., when a session is required for viewing?
2) Does this present any kind of security problems?
I'm imagining that the google analytics script will most definitely load if embedded in a paywalled page. I'm also imagining that such a script could easily parse the content of that page and deliver it to google. Any thoughts on this matter are welcome.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get my head around this AJAX/JS problem with IE where I am getting visitor info like cookie, ip, URL, referrer, user agent and sending it to an external domain where my database is storing all the stats for the client. In short something like Google Analytics does. My script is working fine in Firefox and chrome so far but getting "Access Denied" error on http.open() in IE. I did try derelict's method but I guess I am missing something and same thing happens in IE without error. It is not sending the data to external domain. I am sure many of you have tried and make it worked but I am not able to get it working. I have another option where I can add a php or asp file and use cURL to send the value but I want to make it simple like GA as there may be many clients with different servers and might not possible to add additional pages.
Code:
//This is processJS.shtml page to use PHP within JS
var guestID=getCookie('guestID');
if (guestID==null || guestID=="") {
setCookie('guestID',"-1",365);
} var guestID=getCookie('guestID');
var siteurl = '<!--#echo var="HTTP_HOST"-->';
var ip = '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->';
var agent = '<!--#echo var="HTTP_USER_AGENT"-->';
var page = document.URL;
var ref = document.referrer;
var clientID = '123'; // clientID will be different for each client .....
This question pertains to Google Analytics (GA). GA provides a specific way you can assign a Goal to the event when a user clicks a link on your site that points to an external site.
Implementing this code isn't confusing, however, because it relies on the javascript onClick, I am worried it is conflicting with my links - as they, too, are configured using onClick. Here's an example of one of my links, with the GA onClick command added after it:
<a href="#" onclick="window.open('http://www.example.com', null, 'height=800, width=1000, toolbar=0, location=0, status=1, left=200, top=50, scrollbars=1'); return false" onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview("/G1/example");" title="Example">Click here to visit example</a>
As you can see, I am using onClick twice in the same code. I don't think that that's correct syntax. I tried putting them together like this, but it didn't work:
onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview("/G1/example"); window.open('http://www.example.com', null, 'height=800, width=1000, toolbar=0, location=0, status=1, left=200, top=50, scrollbars=1'); return false" title="Example"
how I can keep my onClick method of employing links with window.open, but also assign a trackPageview to the action for goal purposes.
I've noticed that my site has been loading slower lately, especially in google images. I'm thinking that this could be due to the google analytics javascript. I was told that page load slows down if its placed on top (which I have). Is this true? I'm not really warming up to GA but I also don't want to nix it completely. Bottom placement doesn't work for me as GA does not record then.

I was reading the Google Analytics support docs and it says that webmasters must be careful not to have ANY javascript errors on their webpages, because if there is an error, GA will not log visits for that page.
Is this true? I often wrap add onclick functions to various links on my pages dynamically, eventhough I may not have declared the specific onclick function in the page (thus causing an error). Does this mean it won't track when I setup GA?
so I figured I can track one page of the private website (intranet) through Google Analytics. The way I do this is by creating a page on a public website with just GA code, then putting a 1px x 1px iframe on the private website.

how to track outbound links with Google Analytics. I had read a few posts online as to how it's done, and this is the coding I have set up for it:

I have a form that captures users email addresses when they sign up for a enewsletter. I want to add this form submission into my google analytics and from what I have read the best way to do this is by tracking an event? I have added some jquery that I mashed together and I just want to know will this work? I added it today and I can only find out if it has truely worked by waiting 24 hours. I downloaded a program called fiddler (recommended in dot net magazine) to see tracking requests in action instead of waiting 24 hours but I can't see any of the field names displaying like AMF signup?
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-8736163-1");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}$(document).ready(function() {
$("#pre-book").attr("onSubmit", "pageTracker._trackEvent('Signup Forms','AMF Signup','Newsletter',2.0);");
});
</script>
I'm trying to serve static content from a cookieless subdomain s.mydomain.org.uk, so that image/css requests from pages at [URL] don't get sent with needless cookie data. The trouble is that Google Analytics insists on adding its cookies (_utma, _utmz) to those requests anyway!
My code is:
<script src="[URL]" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("xxxx");
pageTracker._setDomainName("www.mydomain.org.uk");
pageTracker._trackPageview();

I'm making a nice little login box in Javascript but having problems Posting
the value inside a textfield.
In a nutshell:
I have a function:
function getPostData (value)
Which correctly gets the value, but how do I then create a form and submits
inside Javascript?
Does anyone know if this is possible to have a online database? Or can I use access to make a database and then post it online and have it work on the internet?

I have seen quite a few code generators over time where you are presented with a form, you fill in the various fields in the forum, and then click a Generate Code button, and the results show up in a textarea.
The code is then copied from the textarea and pasted into notepad or directly into an HTML document.
So, you may have some code that you want to generate that looks like this:
In this particular case there is 1 .js files that go to the root of the site that requires no editing.
Then there is 1 .css file that may require changes depending on user preferences. Things like margin, width, height, border and so on.
Then there is a section that goes into the Head of the document that requires no changes.
Then there is something like this would go inside a division"
<a href="address to a page" target="an iframe name"><img src="path to thumbnails/thumbnail name" border="1"></a>
Note that the above code has variable that would change based on user preferences. The way the code is presently structured it is not done as an array, however, this would substantially shorten the code depending on how many thumbnails are in it.
And finally there is another iframe section that would go inside a couple of a division. It relates to a second iframe.
Before I go any further with this, I just wanted to know if it's possible to do with javascript or is it best to do in another language.
The variables don't have to be kept in a database. What I am thinking is that the user would simply open up the HTML page, enter the data, generate the code, copy/paste and test, without closing the page. If there is a problem, he/she would simply go back in and change a variable or 2 and re-generate the code.
I have an XML document which lists some information about movies(Title, actor, etc.) I am using Javascript to pull that data and display it as html. Is it possible to create a link for each one of those titles that are pulled from the XML in my JS? Here is my code:
for (var i=0; movies.length > i; i++)
{
var Title = movies[i].getElementsByTagName("title");
var Actor = movies[i].getElementsByTagName("actor");
var Price = movies[i].getElementsByTagName("price");
results += i+1 + '. ' + ' "<span class="title"><a href="http://www.imdb.com">' + Title[0].firstChild.nodeValue + '</a></span>"' +
' starring <span class="actor">' + Actor[0].firstChild.nodeValue + '</span>' + ' and costs approximately $'+ Price[0].firstChild.nodeValue + "<br/>

}
document.getElementById("displayresults").innerHTML = results;
My company is in the search process for using web analytics on our company intranet application. Anyone have any recommendations for some 3rd party software to accomplish this?
We use Google analytics for the public site, but according to the documentation, we have to use a fully qualified domain name for the intranet it order for it to work with google.
I want to learn more about creating functions for element events
without having to put onclick event in every tag. For example:
<script>
document.getElementsByTagName('input').onclick = function () {
alert('hello');
}
</script>
Now, I know the above does not work as I have tried it but hopefully
the idea of what I am trying to achieve here. Basically for every input
tag, when the user triggers the event (click) it will do the same
function.
Anyway, I would more so like to learn about this type of scripting
where you assign functions to events. However, I dont know what to
search for in google and the like. Where could I learn more about this?
i am having a problem creating a javascript function to swap my radio values based on the first set one.
i have a bunch of radio buttons on the page which are like this:
Code:
<input type="radio" name="add_id[1]" value="yes" CHECKED>Yes <input type="radio" name="add_id[1]" value="no">No
<input type="radio" name="add_id[2]" value="yes" CHECKED>Yes <input type="radio" name="add_id[2]" value="no">No
etc.... and each one is different, related to an input field, and as you can see it is a radio input array, and all radio inputs are named add_id[1], add_id[2], add_id[3] and so on i want a javascript function that will swap all the values of these radio buttons to whatever the first on is set to, either 'yes' or 'no' Code:
With Google Analytics, you have to create a new profile for each domain, and post different code on each domain.
I'd like a traffic stats script (or website) where you can just add the same code for any domain, and that domain will be automatically tracked, even if it's a new domain. So if I have 100 domains and then add the same code to the 101st domain, it will track that domain fine.
Doesn't matter if the script needs to be hosted on your own server, or if it's 3rd party like Google Analytics. It can be commercial too if it's got an unlimited domain license. Anyone know of something like this?
