Just Run this code. Just replace the function you want it here - onclick="alert('track me');".

Great solution Finoy/Sly!

Just QA this post to see if there is a simpler solution http://blog.projectx4.com/2008/03/28/go ... asy-peasy/

Can we apply whichever works best to the Dr Ho Now video on the http://drhonow.com/home2.php page ASAP.

I am very impressed with the collaboration to solve this issue!!!! This is the way forward!

Silvester I had read that onClick in "a" tag had some issues in some other forum as well.
I like the solution mentioned by you and Finoy.

Lets go ahead and create a copy of the page, name it demo.htm and add this thing.

One more thing to note, Analytics code don't work in <no script> tags. It should be out side the no script. We need to look if just calling a method would be ok.
If we have the trackGA() outside, it should be OK I guess.

We would not require clip 1 and clip 2 buttons. We want the general play console which comes with players. (Play, Stop, Pause).
Any of these Play should be tracked as well as any click on the video to try to play it.

Lets test this one first though.

Google Code Labs also provide a Adobe Flash component for doing GA Tracking. This component is developed and supported by Adobe Systems, Inc.

We are presently testing this plugin to see if it will work for GWO. It should work for any code I guess.

<a href="javascript:" id="video_anchor" onclick="player.sendEvent('PLAY');ConversionCount();" style="position:absolute; top:43px; left:7px; width:236px; height:200px; z-index:100; display:block;"><img src="http://www.clientdomain.com/s****/imgs/rich-preview.jpg" width="236" height="200" alt="" border="0" /></a>

Conversion Count method:
1. We are using ga.js
2. We are ensuring that the video anchor is not displayed more than once.
3. Tracking a conversion

function ConversionCount()
{
document.getElementById("video_anchor").style.display='none';
//_uacct = 'UA-XXXXXXXXXX-3';
//urchinTracker("/YYYYYYYYYYYY/goal");
var gwoTracker=_gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXXXX-3");
gwoTracker._trackPageview("/YYYYYYYYYY/goal");
return true;
}

Here is how the Website Optimizer Conversion Code looks like. If you notice we have moved part of the script to a new method called ConversionCount().


<script type="text/javascript">
if(typeof(_gat)!='object')document.write('<sc'+'ript src="http'+
(document.location.protocol=='https:'?'s://ssl':'://www')+
'.google-analytics.com/ga.js"></sc'+'ript>')</script>

A quick note, the above method does not pass the movie as an argument. We are using the player for tracking clicks, not the movie.
It should serve our purpose for now as there is only one movie for this particular website.
