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?
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 is calling a js function that does the actual submit. The action of the form points to a page on another server that I do not have the ability to edit.
My problem is that I need a way of tracking submissions and I'm having a hard time thinking of a way to do that. Anyone have any thoughts?
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:
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:
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.
get some help setting up eCommerce on my Google Analytics account.How do I add a unique order ID to the javascript field? Do I just leave it blank? All of my customers are directed to the same thankyou page so I'm not sure how to track a bunch of unique order ID's on the one page.The code is on this site and the code I've altered below: I just need to alter the _addTrans and _addItem parts.http:[url]....This is my altered version:
HTML Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");[code]....
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.
Several non-form input elements (a text field, a few buttons).
There is an "add file" and a "remove file" button. Whenever the "add file" is clicked, new_file_count is incremented and a form is created (ID: "nc-" + new_file_count, NAME: "ncform", enctype: "multipart/form data"). Whenever "remove file" is clicked, the last form is removed, and new_file_count is decrimented. Each form has a hidden submit element named "NEW_SUBMIT".
There is also a text field button, when it is clicked, a hidden field in each form is updated, along with the text in a span element within each form. This works properly.
Finally, there is the non-form "Check in documents" button. When this is clicked, the function LAC_NEW_CHECKIN_CLICK is called (see end of mail). This should iterate through each form, and submit it, and the alerts I put in the validation function would suggest it is doing that.
However, when the actual LAC_submit_checkin function is executed, the checkin is not being executed as AJAX (I'm redirected to the json output of the first form).
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>
is it possible to track whether user is typing in the browser's address bar or aside google search box ( which appears in most of the browsers besides address bar)? if yes, I would like to know HOW? references are welcome.
i have created an option on a website to give the possibity to the user to change the font size (smaller, bigger, reset), like the famous x3 'A' that we see in most of the websites. the code i have is based on a plugin copywrite to [URL]. now i'm facing a problem with different font size for different elements. to make the text bigger and smaller works like a charm but to reset the font size is not working so good. here is the code of the plug in the reset part:
//on clicking default font size button, font size is reset jQuery(container + " .defaultFont").click(function(){ jQuery("#content *").css('font-size', defSize); // coockie to rememebr the selected font size updatefontCookie(target, defSize); });
here is how i'm calling the function: fontSize("#container", "#content *", 8, 12, 20); container is where i have the images to make the text smaller or bigger content is the div that has the content that i want it to be changed 8 is the smallest fonr size 12 default 20 max now the thing is that i have different font sizes in the page and some of them don't have a class just the <font> ....</font> when i'm clicking the rest button then i'm getting everything with size 12 and this is what i want to change. i want to remember the current font size and set it back.
I have a form which is submitted via $.post(). This posts data to the server script and then a response is sent back to the client script. I would like to prevent the execution of this post for 10 seconds after the first execution. This function is for a quick reply method, so naturally i dont want people to post replies every second, therefore i would like an interval between quick replies to discourage multiple spamming.
i want to display contents of a form in a plane text format. for that i want to track a number of textfields in the form..... do i need to write a seperate line for each textfield ? i tried
for(i=1;i<7;i++) { var cont[i]=document.getElementById("txt"+i).value ------- ------------ ------------- } but it didn't work out..
I have a js counter which keeps track of how many chars are in a field on an asp form. When the user clicks a button further down in the form, the form generates more fields. This also causes the js counter to reset to its original value, as the page is 'reloading' in a way. How can I check this value and keep it the same when the user clicks this button?
I am using cookies to track form data the user inputs. The data only needs to be available during their session. I have well over 80 fields. How can I combine some of the cookies to cut down on the amount. I am storing them with JS and retrieving them with php.
The codw which i am using is , the code which i am using is able to disable the submit session , but not exactly that i need, i need to disable that after 10 submissions and timer will become start for 24 hours , to enable again
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.
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?
I have around 30 check boxes in a form and I need to keep track of their status if they are checked or not and based on that change the data in the dom.
I am stuck on the logic of how to implement or code for 30 check boxes. I was using the below example code but there will be a lot of if statements as I need to always know what their status is. Is there a better way I can manage so many check boxes ?
