Google Analytics Event Tracking and Variable visibility.
- by Jeow
Hi guys,
I have added to my html page the standard latest snippet to get google analytics to work:
...
...
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-15080849-1']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = 'http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(ga);
})();
Now looking at the official 'event tracking guide'
google says:
add a snippet such as:
pageTracker._trackEvent('Videos', 'Play', 'Gone With the Wind');
my question is:
where is pageTracker coming from ?
is it a global object in ga.js ? but if it is, why google did not tell me that they run a risk on breaking some script...
I must be missing something
any help really appreciated.
