google analytics event not recorded by GA

Question

On a given page, in addition to normal GA call, I am making an event call, and what we call a "phantom URL" call. The normal call seems to be recorded in GA, I can run a report on it, but neither event call, nor a "phaontom url" call are recorded.

Here's the javascript that I place on the page

    <!-- analytics events --><script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function() {_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'interview', 'ask', 'labelone', 2]);_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/phantom/interview/ask']);});</script><!-- end analytics events -->

I can see in FireBug 3 requests to __utml.gif, all 3 look OK to me:

Regular call (I can see the requests in GA)

Event call [utme=5(interview*ask*labelone)(2)] (I don't see any events in GA)

"phantom URL call (searching for "phantom" in the GA report returns no result)

Answer 1

Ok, figured out the problem. My _gaq didn't have an account set on it, so 2nd and 3rd calls were goingout with

utmac=UA-XXXXX-X

Code should look something like this:

var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-ACCOUNTNUMBER-1']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'interview', 'ask']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/phantom/interview/ask']);
