Google Analytics Won't Track If There Are Any JS Errors On Page?
Dec 1, 2009
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?

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'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'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.

I 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 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?

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.

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();
} catch (err) { }
</script>

Goal 1: display errors above the form on same page
Goal 2: direct users to a new thankyou page when form is submitted.
The form uses ajax. I am able to get it to work with the error messages displaying correctly but as is, the thankyou message also displays in the same spot and the form is left filled out. I need it to direct to a new page I designed for the purpose.

I'm not sure where I have translated this incorrectly. I have one google map embedded on my page which works fine. But I wanted to add a second one. I thought the easiest way to do this would be to have a second page which is called later on with all the details on it for the second map. However although I think (this I presume is where I went wrong) I have replicated the instructions correctly the place holder for the second map just remains blank.
This is the code for my called page with the instructions for the second map:
And this is the script of the main page, just in case I would be better off keeping them both in one place.
<head>
I've cut out the script that doesn't relate to this so I hope I haven't missed anything important.

I get more JS errors than I'd expect, on a wide range of sites. (It's
possible I only know this because the Debug is set on).
I found an error on a Microsoft site, and decided to investigate. I traced
it to this line:
document.all("characterCount").innerText = commentTextLength;
This is on a page deep inside a secure ordering sequence, so it's probably
not worth copying the URL here.
According to my crib-sheet, "document.all" is only valid in the javascript
of IE4 and later. My browser is IE6 (SP1) which qualifies, but the
javascript I have doesn't like it. I also have other browsers and
Frontpage 2002 installed. Code:

is there any way I can stop document.write from outputting info to a new page I would prefer to have it shown in a textarea.
Info from an array that is suppose to display in a text area when button is clicked and when another button is clicked it is suppose to show some other info. But what happens is the first info displays in textarea for a few seconds and then the second info is displayed but on a new page and not the textarea where I want it to go
I have marked code within the code // I want this specific code to be displayed second but I know its in the wrong spot.
Here is the code

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.
