    <p>You are correct in that you can <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/asyncUsageGuide.html#PushingFunctions" rel="nofollow noreferrer">push functions onto the analytics queue</a>. Since functions or tracking events are executed/evaluated in the order that you pushed them on to the array, you should be able to do this:</p> <pre><code>function trackDownload(link) { _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Downloads', 'Click', 'Setup executable']); _gaq.push(function() { document.location = link.href }); return false; } </code></pre> <p>Note that the try/catch isn't necessary since <a href="http://code.google.com/intl/it-IT/apis/analytics/docs/gaJS/gaJSApi_gaq.html#_gaq.push" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>push()</code></a> isn't documented to throw anything (and I'd recommend removing it since empty catch blocks can <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/141441/is-a-javascript-try-catch-ignoring-an-expected-occasional-error-bad-practice">mask other problems</a>).</p> <p>You ask:</p> <blockquote> <p>But it's not clear if this works or if it's just equivalent to the previous one. </p> </blockquote> <p>In your first example (push, setTimeout), the event will be lost if Analytics hasn't finished loading when you do the redirect (because at that time, <code>_gaq</code> is just an array). In the version with the <code>push(function...</code>, then the event will be recorded before the redirect regardless of whether Analytics has finished loading at the time the user hits the download button. For this reason, I would recommend using <code>push(function...</code>.</p> <p>Be warned that the <code>push(function...</code> version will wait for analytics to finish loading before the redirect happens (which sounds like what you want anyway), but you may want to add a way to handle the case where analytics doesn't load.</p>

    1. COMaybe I can push redirection in the `_gaq` as I posted, and then repeat it in the `catch` block and in a more delayed `setTimeout` (one or two seconds). So if something go wrong with `_gaq`, I can be sure user will be redirected sooner or later.

    2. COI agree that a delayed setTimeout is the way to handle the no analytics case. However, I think one or two seconds is probably a bit quick. Also, I just noticed that the catch block isn't needed - I'll update my answer.

    3. COIn fact, I do not remember why I put that `try..catch` block :) About the timeout: I can set a longer one (5 secs) and a spinner on the button when clicked. So the faster user won't have the feeling that nothing is happening...

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.
