Integration with 3rd-party tracking

Has anyone integrated tracking into a Sidebar gadget Trying to figure out how to use JS code to handle gadget usage tracking. I understand how to track user clicks with div show/hide, but wondering how to pass JS parameters to collect metrics. We are using Omniture for our tracking.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I agree with TKroll that you don't necessarily want to increase the latency in the responsiveness of your gadget. Adding and XMLHttpRequest everytime sometime clicks a tab would get a little onerous. Maybe one suggestion is to catpure all activity locally, persist it to the gadget's settings, and then have your gadget post the collected events from the previous session each time it loads a new session. It already takes a little time to load a gadget, so the customer won't be as bummed and your web service would have more manageable traffic.

    Gadget has 2 tabs and various images/text linking to web site pages. Desire to track tab clicks, and user clicking on web links.

    Hello,

    At what level do you want to track You could put your tracking code into the gadget.htm and flyout.htm. You could also write a function to make XMLHTTP calls and stick that in all your event handlers. That could slow your gadget down, though.
