hi everyone! it’s my first post so i’m really nervous…
i’ve searched the forum re:web tracker but only gave me hit counters
my webhost provides site stats if i place a code in my pages. code is a javascript link plus a few anchor tags in the png images. it is only shown in my index page. on the rest of the pages, i’ve managed to hide it and it still delivers results.
my prob is my main page which is a flash movie. i’ve somehow incorporated the tracker there but it is sloppy.
here’s how it works for now:
- visitor clicks on a menu and goes to that flash page
- visited frame triggers to open a small popup window
- variable framename is sent using post
- php page (with tracker code) opens, blurs, and closes
- when i view my stats, it registers
www.mysite.com/tracker.php?visited=aboutUs … 12 hits today
www.mysite.com/tracker.php?visited=galleries … 53 hits today
www.mysite.com/tracker.php?visited=contactUs … 32 hits today
my visitors are complaining about that fraction of a second the popup window opens. even though i set it to blur, you can still see the page opens. they knew that they triggered something and since it closes after it loads, they are oftentimes alarmed. one even accuse me of spreading virus.
i don’t want to disturb my visitors browsing. is there a way to call the tracker code using php without opening a window?
thanks!
