Google Analytics from a file:// url

Question

We have an ajaxy sort of html based app framework thing and want google analytics to work with it. And I believe we have set things up properly to manually call _trac

Answer 1

Ended up with a complex bounce through an iframe via the resize hack message passing mechanism.

Local file include an iframe on our server. When we want to track a GA call we changes it's url hash with the info we need #_trackEvent,foo,bar, and then change the width of the iframe. In the iframe the onresize() function gets triggered and allows us to submit GA calls by inspecting the hash.

As much as I hate this hack, it works flawlessly!
