How do I add event tracking to these buttons?

[EcommerceSite]

I have two separate events that I would like to track on my site.

[Ask a Question](javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$MainContent$AskQuestionButton',''))

and

I think I would want to use this-_gaq.push ([‘_trackEvent’,’event category’,’event action’,’event label’, event value]); Is that correct? Where would I place it in the button code?

Would this work?
_gaq.push ([‘_trackEvent’,’AskAQuestion’,’Submitted’,’event label’, event value]);

The event doesn't have a label or value. Are those left blank?

Yes - that's right.

What you should do is implement it - then click on the link and at the same time check your real time analytics report in GA. They've added a new tab that allows you to see your events in real time. So you should see the event being logged as an active visitor on the site.

Do I need the quotes around the gaq push all the way to the end? I am seeing some mixed results when I search for that.

onclick="_gaq.push ([‘_trackEvent’,’AskaQuestion’,’Submitted’]); ">

Sorry Niners52

I'm just saying to use the apostrophe key on your keyboard to type the apostrophes. Otherwise you might get an odd character like the second apostrophe which looks like a proper apostrophe - but isn't - and that will throw up an error.

Hope that makes sense.

My apostrophes look like the second one how do I get them to look like the first?

Be careful if you're copying and pasting from here into your code - and ensure that the apostrophe's look like this (') instead of this (‘).

I'll try this. Thank You very much!

Hi

You need to add an onclick event...

[Ask a Question](javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$MainContent$AskQuestionButton',''))

and

but replace 'event action', 'event label' and 'event value' with values you can understand like 'top quote button', 'homepage' etc.
