Tagging an external link within a form, for Google Analytics tracking
Hello, hopefully you can help!
I am trying to tag some external links so that Google Analytics can track them. However the links I need to tag and track are in a form within textpattern, that links to an image within the main navigation header, of the website .
When I add an <a> tag in this form, instead of just the url, the webpage crashes. Can any of you advise me how to tag this link successfully?
Many thanks,
Helen

Hi helen
txp rarely crashes so can you post the exact code you are currently using?

Re: Tagging an external link within a form, for Google Analytics tracking
Whoops! I’m using the wrong language… Once I’ve saved the changes in textpattern I reload the webpage, but their is a problem with the code, so the page views incorrectly/images overlap and the page becomes a mess. So it doesn’t “crash” but the page does “break”. Does that make more sense?

this sounds like a css problem. Can you post a url for us to check for you?

Give your link a class, for example class="external", and then use something like this example to track clicks on links with that class. They’ll start showing up in your google analytics along with the link clicked.
