Hi, This is jQuery related so bear with me!
I'm CCing someone who asked about this recently as I think this may help them. Apologies to you if this is out of turn :) I was recently asked by a client to implement cross domain link tracking. Fair enough, Google does this in their analytics system, however there are several limitations to this: 1. Their link tracking does not support target="blah" attributes of a elements. 2. Their link tracking does not simply plug in to optional popup windows (degrading nicely if no J/S) 3. Their form tracking does not work with GET forms (despite their claims that it does). NB for point 3. I found, in testing, that their function manipulates the action= attribute of the form to include the necessary GET arguments. I found that everything after the ? is stripped off a GET form's action attribute - at least in FF2/3 and Konquerer. The correct solution is to append hidden elements to the form prior to submission. I have "solved" all of these issue and implemented an example (attached - hopefully) that shows the various methods in action with lots of comments. I use jQuery primarily for its event handling and registration stuff. I use the order of the event registration strategically, but I appreciate that there is no guarantee that the order of registration will be preserved through to invocation. It does seem to work in practice. There are a couple of tweaks for IE due to the fact that it does not pick up on an altered href during a click handler that allows bubbling up. On the whole it worked for me on FF2/3 and IE 6/7. I didn't do further testing. I hope this helps some people :) ColTitle: Google Analytics Proper Form Tracking + jQuery and Popups
