// Add target blank and track outgoing links in Google Analytics | |
// Method 1 (recommended): Event delegation. Track as Event. | |
// 'click' | |
// element and class names (i.e. a.button) | |
// href value clicked | |
$('body').on('click', function( e ) { | |
var target = $(e.target); | |
if ( target.tag == 'A' ) | |
{ | |
_gaq.push([ | |
'_trackEvent', | |
'click', | |
target.tagName + '.' + target.className.replace( ' ', '.' ), | |
target.getAttribute('href') | |
]); | |
} | |
}); | |
// Method 2a: Inline. Track as Event | |
$("a").attr('onclick', "javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Click', $(this).tag+'.'+$(this).className.replace(' ', '.'), $(this).getAttribute('href')]);"); | |
// Method 1b: Inline. Track as Pageview | |
$("a[href^='http:']").not("[href*='"+document.domain+"']").attr('target','_blank').attr('onclick', "javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/external/'+$(this).attr('href')]);"); | |
// Method 3: Event based (worse performance) | |
$("a").on('click', function() { | |
a = attr('href'); | |
if (a.match(/:\/\//)) && a.indexOf(document.domain) !== -1) { | |
$(this).attr('target', '_blank'); | |
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/external/'+$(this).attr('href')]); | |
} | |
}); |
