Does anyone know if i can use this snippet with the ‘onsubmit’ function within the tag?

I asked (if a delay is still required) in the GA Help Forum; the answer was “No”.

Helpful.
In my case, I’m interested in tracking clicks on outgoing links. An example of this approach is shown at http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en-uk&answer=55527 .
I’m wondering if it is still desirable to add a delay when using the new asynchronous GA code — and, if so, are there any recommendations for a delay function for use with the new asynchronous GA code?
TIA and Best Regards!

Thanks for this tip. It bugs me VPV were “dropped” for the async code. If for no other reason than it’s the most effective way to tie certain actions into goals. If they make it so you can turn certain events into goals, then I’ll be happy only using event tracking. Until then, I hope this method works.

Thanks Lorrin!

Hi Brian,

I use the javascript: protocol because when I do not use it the virtual pageview does not work. Only with this protocol I can guarantee that it will work. Thanks

FYI – the javascript: protocol prefix is 100% unnecessary

Thanks For this code snipet. I use virtual pageviews all the time .. I wish Google would have clarifeid this in their help docs but instead I found it on your site .. Thanks!

If you name all of your outgoing links or affiliate links the same — you can some some fancy jquery code to save you time http://fieldsmarshall.com/8-tips-for-tracking-with-google/
