How do I track JavaScript events?

To track an event, use the urchinTracker JavaScript function to specify a name for the event. For example, calling:

    javascript:urchinTracker('/homepage/link1');

will cause each occurrence of the the calling event to be logged as though it were a pageview for the URL /homepage/link1. The argument must begin with a forward slash. The event names may be organized into any directory style structure you wish.

For example, if you wish to organize events by page > type of event, you might organize a hierarchy along these lines:

    * '/homepage/links/link1'
    * '/homepage/radiobuttons/button1'
    * '/contactform/rollovers/image1'

HTML Code Examples

The following illustrates how to log an onClick event:

    <a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="javascript:urchinTracker('/folder/file');">

Or, to log a rollover event:

    <a href="javascript:void(0);" onMouseOver="javascript:urchinTracker ('/folder/file');">
