I am trying to log JavaScript events such as AJAX and click events using Google Analytics.

I have done some reading on Google Analytics and it seems I need to use _trackPageView and _trackEvent. I have put this is my code as a JavaScript function that I call as needed. Here is the code:

var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker();
pageTracker._trackPageview(url);

var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker();
pageTracker._trackEvent(category, action, item);

I have verified using FireBug that the HTTP requests are going out successfully when I call this chunk of JavaScript code and I am not receiving any errors. However, the page views and events that I am logging using this code is not working. I do not see any entries in the analytics reports.

Update Adding my google analytics code in order to help with versioning:

var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘XXXXXX’]);
_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);
})();
