Google Analytics executing in a dynamically created modal window

Question

I am using JavaScript to create a modal window when a user either clicks a link or submits a form. The modal window holds either a form if they click a link or a thank you page when a user submits a sign up form. The modal window is populated using innerHTML.

The issue I am having is that these modal windows have Google Analytic tags in their source code. For some odd reason the Google Analytics is not executing. I have tried to place the actual ga.js source into the pages, that didn't work. I have put the Analytics code in two separate files but that is not working either.

Any one ever ran into this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Don’t add script tags using .innerHTML. Just fire pageTracker._trackPageview() directly from javascript, as it is described in the Google Analytics API
