    <p>I'm trying to add the asynchronous version of the Google Analytics tracking code to a website.</p> <p>I'd like to keep the JavaScript in a separate file, and call it from there.</p> <p>Here's what I've currently got in my .js file:</p> <pre><code>function addLoadEvent(func) { var oldonload = window.onload; if (typeof window.onload != 'function') { window.onload = func; } else { window.onload = function() { oldonload(); func(); } } } function loadtracking() { var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXX-X']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })(); } addLoadEvent(loadtracking); </code></pre> <p>And here's what I've got in the <code>&lt;head&gt;</code> tag of my Master page:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="js/google-analytics.js" &gt;&lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>However, there's obviously a problem as after a few days, I'm not getting stats through!</p> <p>Any ideas what I need to change?</p> <p>Thanks, Neil</p> <hr> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Ok... After some feedback below, I'm going to add the <em>new</em> current contents of my .js file. I'll keep it updated so that if/when this gets solved, it will hopefully help other people trying to do similar things.</p> <pre><code>var _gaq = _gaq || []; function loadtracking() { window._gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXX-X']); window._gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })(); } loadtracking(); </code></pre>

    1. CODid this happen to solve your problem? I'm running into the same issue, though I had my var _gaq defined globally in the .js file. Thanks.

    2. COAs far as I remember, yes it did. To be honest, for most applications, I'd suggest just following the advice below and putting the code directly in the document... It was a requirement for this specific project that it was in a separate file, which may or may not be the case with you.

    3. COI've been reading a lot of similar threads on SO and have seen people say there's no issue with it other than a possible slight delay in loading the script, while others have said that it will ruin my life and condemn me to hell. I need it to pass dif values based on the page being viewed, and want to keep code changes in a single file rather than on every page of the website. It appears to be working fine, but if you can remember any issues you ran into, let me know. Appreciate it.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
