Thank you very much in advance.

Since the new GA script (ga.js) is out, how do you think we can get the full referrer?

Many thanks,
Hassan

You should probably start by replacing the fancy quotes with regular apostrophes.

I’m getting an error in IE 7 (Firefox seems to be OK) when I add the following analytics code that includes Daniel Strickland’s modified last block. Do you know why this might be causing an error in IE?

Webpage: http://www.interface21.com
Error: Invalid Character
Code: 0

document.write( ” );

_uacct = “UA-2728886-1″;
urchinTracker();

document.write( ” );
var wbx = window.location.toString().indexOf(”:”) + 3;
var wb = window.location.toString().substr(wbx,window.location.toString().indexOf(”/”,wbx)-wbx);
if( document.referrer.toString().indexOf(wb) == -1 )
document.write( ‘urchinTracker(document.referrer);’ );
document.write( ” );

In the meantime, I made a small modification to automatically detect the current website to prevent full internal referrers. So now you don’t have to replace “www.mywebsite.com” in your original (final code). My issue was that sometimes visitors use “mywebsite.com” (no “www”) and the original code doesn’t account for that.

Here’s my modification to the last “script” block:

document.write( ” );
var wbx = window.location.toString().indexOf(“:”) + 3;
var wb = window.location.toString().substr(wbx,window.location.toString().indexOf(“/”,wbx)-wbx);
if( document.referrer.toString().indexOf(wb) == -1 )
document.write( ‘urchinTracker(document.referrer);’ );
document.write( ” );

Hi Daniel

Thanks for the update.

Just curious, though, why write out the script tag within a script tag? Since you already have a script tag, won’t the conditional execute anyway, or is this just to delay things so that the conditional doesn’t execute until the JS interpreter gets up and going?
