  how to add google analytics goal to a asp:button click

  Feb 19, 2010 09:27 AM|learning.net|LINK

  Hello Experts,
  
  i am currently using Google Analytics to collects stats about my site ( my site is created in ASP.NET 2.0 and C#).
  
  i have asp:imagebutton called "Confirm Order". i want to track the clicking of this button.
  the code for this button is as follows:

  void ibConfirm_Click( object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e )
      {
          try
          {
              if ( Cart.Order.Items.Length == 0 )
              {
                  Mysite.ClearBasket( );
                  Response.Redirect( string.Concat(
                      ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[ "HTTPDirectory" ],
                      "cart.aspx?sto=true" ) );
              }
          
          
          Cart.Order.Purchase( );
                                  
          sendConfirmationEmail( Cart.Order );
        
          Mysite.ClearBasket();
  
          Server.Transfer("thanks.aspx", false);
         }
          catch (Exception ex)
          {
          this.HandlePageError(ex);
          }
          
      }

  
  

  my question how can i add the GA tracking script to this button click in the code behind.

  my GA tracking Script is like below:

  <script type="text/javascript">
  var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
  document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
  </script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
  try{
  var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxx-x");
  pageTracker._trackPageview();
  pageTracker._trackEvent('confirmOrder', 'Submit');
  } catch(err) {}</script>

  Thanks and i really appreciate any help.

  I want to know how i can add this script to the onclick code above to so i can track the button clicks.

  Thanks

  Hey,

  The image button should have an OnClientClick property, which you can define the JS code that will run before the control posts back.  Reference that method from there.

  HTH.

  Thanks for replying appreciate it, but since i am already using onclick method for the imageButton, now if i use OnClientClick, does this not result in double clicking,

  or does this throw an error....... sorry i am just in a learning stage.

  Thanks
