I was having a problem where I was seeing a lot of “/ext/undefined” in analytics, I believe it was tracking links like href=”javascript:foo();”.. so I added
&& as[i].href.indexOf(‘http’) == 0
to the if statement on line 46 and it seems to fix that issue I think.

Note the book is slightly different to the latest syntax but still works – see my comments in http://www.advanced-web-metrics.com/blog/2008/05/26/book-corrections-and-typos/

In terms of site overlay, the onClick event handlers will not effect this as site overlay uses the href attribute of the anchor tag. Could it be something else?

Also, I’ve found that some JS calls to load an overlay window aren’t working because the current script overwrites every href tag with the onclick functionality. Do you have any ideas on how I could modify the script to ignore these href tags (maybe by recognizing them by some kind of id, class or as having an existing onclick behavior)?

Thanks again, this script is a great additional to our site tracking!

Trying to use this script on http://www.earth-kind.com and having some problems. Tried posting the code directly into our page and for some reason the dotnetnuke is choking on it, so I put the entire script in an external javascript file

http://www.earth-kind.com/js/analytics-auto-tagging.js

Since the tracking script needs to be called after my call to google analytics (right?)

I then put the google analytics code in the head and called it immediately after the analytics code in the head with

Big problems occured after that. Most noticeable being the stylesheet exploded even though we hadn’t touched any code controlling that.

Is there something you can see I’m doing wrong? Are there additional instructions I’m missing? I saw something about…”place the addExtDocEvents() call in an onLoad event handler and host the JavaScript in a separate file.” but I don’t see that in the final version of the script posted in your library.

thanks -
