[textile] Javascript in links?
Anyway to write this using textile?
<a href=“http://www.example.com” onClick=“javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/example.com’);”>
Thanks

Writing it as plain HTML is probably much much easier to understand than attempting to make textile do this.

Re: [textile] Javascript in links?
If you have lots of such links, a jQuery solution to patch links by class might come handy.
- Designate links with a class:
"(external)foo":http://example.com/- In your page’s <HEAD>, attach an onclick handler at all of these links upon page load:
$(document).ready( function() {
$('a.external').click(function(){pageTracker._trackPageview(this.href);})
}(requires jQuery)

Wow thanks. Thing is the example.com bit in pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/example.com’) has to be unique for each link.

Yeah, I just noticed this requirement. Sample code amended accordingly.

For a test, use this:
$(document).ready( function() {
$('a.external').click(function(){alert(this.href);return false;})
}Saves a few clicks and reloads…

All done, just have to wait for google analytics to update in a few hours. I’ll let you know, but I’m sure it’s going to work.
Best wishes

Re: [textile] Javascript in links?
Not sure if this is going to far or possible, but could external links automatically be given the external class using jquery?

Re: [textile] Javascript in links?
Depends on whether you can make sure that no internal link is absolute, i.e. does not contain the full URI. This snippet adds an external class to all links starting with http://
$("a[href^='http://']").addClass('external');One can probably think of more elaborate versions of this attribute probing.

Re: [textile] Javascript in links?
Didn’t seem to work, the class wasn’t applied to external links.
I have this in the head
<script type=“text/javascript” src=”../textpattern/jquery.js”></script>
<script type=“text/javascript”>
$(document).ready( function() {
$(“a[href^=http://]”).addClass(‘external’);
$(‘a.external’).click(function(){alert(this.href);return false;});
}
</script>
If you haven’t for time for this no worries, you’ve already helped me out no end.
