Link Click-Through Tracking
Dec 9, 2010
I am wanting to start tracking the clicks for certain links on an ecommerce site i run (its php based). However, i also want to track the conversions associated with these clicks too. And at the same time i do not want to change the links so that i don't have seo issues as well as issues with link sharing.
Because of these requirements i'm thinking ajax may be the best solution. I've setup a tracking ajax script which works well when the link is pointing to '#' but as soon as i change the link to an actual location the script fails to trigger, the link uses an onclick event. Is there a way to make the ajax script trigger before the page changes? Would this cause any delay on the loading of the page the link goes to?

I need a counter that will display beside a link, with the number of times the same link has been clicked. I do not have FTP access to the site, since it is based on a CMS.

I'm tryng to develop a link tracker, something like google analytics. The goal is to get a command like this:
$('html').trackAllLinks(optional options);
$('a').trackAllLinks(optional options);
Now i developed a javascript that could do just what i need but the problem is it doesn't work in every browser as it should be. Because i want to track a link click i need to make a request to my server to say that the link has been clicked. The first problem i had was that i needed to make a cross domain ajax call. But this is fixed by using JSONP. Now my code looks like this:
[Code]...
The first idea was that i wouldn't do anything in the success of the jsonp call and just let the request go, but because this didn't work when i clicked on an external link, i changed it to wait on a response before opening the link. The problem with this code is that it doesn't work in Opera, no request is being send to the server Now i know that JSONP mimics the ajax call by adding a script tag to the page which loads the script of the given url. Now i think when i do this in Opera the dynamically loaded javascript isn't executed. In Firefox, IE, Chrome, Safari it works but not in Opera.
Another idea i had was by dynamicly adding an image to the page. But this has the same problem in Opera and i was unable to track an external link in Safari and Chrome (Webkit.

I want to call the click event of the link (anchor tag) on the click of the button. I used this code below in the click event of button to call links click event and it works fine in IE.
document.getElementById('linktag').click();
But, this doesn't work in Firefox. I googled a bit and found that in firefox, you have to do something more to achieve this behaviour. So, I ended up doing this on button click to work in firefox:
var link=document.getElementById('linktag');
var e = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
e.initEvent(
[code]....
The above code does the click on link when I click on the button. But my problem now is that I have defined a link as
<a href="mailto:abc@xyz.com?subject=abc&body=email body">email </a>
and when click is called and mailto links opens my email client, it somehow ignores the subject and body parameters of the link. It works properly when i actually click a link element. but it doesn't work when i simulate the click event by code written above. above dispatching event code somehow ignores the link parameters?

Below is an example of a synthetic click in Firefox. The browser does
not follow the link. Is that the just the way synthetic clicks work of
am I doing something wrong? I know the synthetic click occurs because
if I add an onclick attribute to the link the handler runs. Any ideas? Code:

How can I give a click on a link when it is just created and added to DOM?
None of this works:
function openProfilePage(profile){
$('#profile-link').remove();
var link = $('<a/>').attr({'href':'profile.php?user='+profile, 'target':'_blank', 'id':'profile-link'}).css({'top':'-200px','left':'-300px', 'position':'absolute'}).html(profile);

I am writing a greasemonkey script and I can capture the click event.
What I want to know is how do I determine that the click was on a URL
and not just a normal click.
document.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
// event.target is the element that was clicked
alert(event.target.toString());
}, true);

I am programming a website. On there website the users will be able to click "Add as friend". I am basically wanting it so that when my users click "Add as friend" the link will dis-appear and then it will visit a page on the iframe that I have already coded with a variable (addfriend.php?pid=CODEHERE).
If there is anyone that knows how I can make the code dis-appear using Ajax.

I'm looking for reminders on how to ...
1. Get all links in a page.
2. Apply an onclick event handler,
3. that cancels the usual link click event
4. and puts the link address into a form element code...
What's behind the question is a screen scraper test I'm doing, whereby I call a website address via a form, and clicking on any page link should put the target address into the form and then submit it. I think I'm on the right tracks - it's just cancelling the original click event I'm not sure about.

I'm trying to trigger a click on an A tag from JavaScript. I'd like this to trigger any JavaScript events that might be attached. It looks like Internet Explorer and Opera support a click() function on the link, but FireFox and Safari don't. Does anyone know how I can make this work?

I have a link, and a onClick event, which calls jscript function.
Everything is okay, but how can i for example hide that link on click ?
I mean, i can do onClick = "this.hide()" or link.observe('click', function() { ... I can acomplish it this way, but can i do it with a function ?
Because, on click,a function does ajax reuqests, and i want that function to hide the link, not with inline code, or with some observe actions..and after that request, i want to hide the link.

The Yahoo! UI event library goes to extremely great lengths to solve
this problem. Their solution is very creative but uses browser
sniffing. In Safari 1.3 (and earlier?) the following example follows
the link when it should not. Does anyone know of any solutions without
browser sniffing?
<p><a id="one" href="http://www.yahoo.com">link cancelled with
e.preventDefault()</a(isn't cancelled in Safari 1.3, is cancelled in
Safari 2)</p>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
document.getElementById('one').addEventListener('c lick',
function(e){e.preventDefault();}, false);
</script>

I have one page which is the server processing where the link is and the other page which shows the user page.On clicking on the link I manage to make a panel (slide toggle kind) be displayed alright. But I still need that on clicking on that link a value is passed. I think I have to write a couple of lines more in the Ajax snippet but dont know how exactly. I have seen a similar question but havent been able to translate it to my specific case.[code]Well, somewhere in the middle or maybe in another Ajax snippet I should put that $get and this should be returned so that a SQL query can take that value and work with it.

for example let's say we have:<a id="link" href="google.com">click</a>I want to be able to click the link, as if the click was made by the user ( left mouse button click ).I know I can do this way:document.location.href = $('#link').attr("href");but I believe it's not the same thing as if the user make that click.
