Everything seems to be running like a charm. I've setup goals in Analytics with the various form names I required so these should be pulling through from now on.<br /> I've updated the tabbing on the sidebar form as well - I didn't realize there was an error there.</p> <p>Thanks for your help! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/onclick-event-tracking-for-submit-without-editing-plugin-code#post-71628 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 17:09:23 +0000 Chris Hajer 71628@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>That looks correct to me. Let us know here how that is working after a couple days. I submitted a test.</p> <p>You have an issue with the main form and sidebar newsletter form conflicting with the tabindex. Tabbing off the first name field I ended up in the sidebar, then tabbing again I was at the last name field. If this issue is present on your other forms (not just the test form) you can change the tabindex for the sidebar form (it's a setting when add the form widget to your sidebar) - click the "advanced options" and you will see the setting there. Screenshot: <a href="http://minus.com/l17NWnDJ8BXz9" rel="nofollow">http://minus.com/l17NWnDJ8BXz9</a></p> <p>Just set the sidebar to some high number that is greater than the number of elements in your main form. I used 50 here. It could be 4 for this particular page, or you could make it 955. The index for the "enter email" field in the sidebar form would 955, and the "confirm email" would be 956. </p> <p>There are other ways to do it (when you embed the form in the page, or via functions.php) but the widget setting is probably easiest. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/onclick-event-tracking-for-submit-without-editing-plugin-code#post-71624 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 16:00:05 +0000 unodewaal 71624@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks a lot - I've managed to paste it in and it looks like this now: <a href="http://pastie.org/4551792" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/4551792</a><br /> I had some syntax errors initially, but it seems to be working OK now.

The variable would allow you to track the different forms.</p> <p>I would imagine that a simple checkbox in the admin panel that says "track submissions" would let you pick if you want to track submissions on that form or not.</p> <p>Easier speculated than done, but this would be a fantastic feature or add-on. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/onclick-event-tracking-for-submit-without-editing-plugin-code#post-60630 Tue, 29 May 2012 11:01:30 +0000 David Peralty 60630@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Have a look at the following:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/onclick-tracking#post-7734" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/onclick-tracking#post-7734</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/onclick-event-tracking-for-submit-without-editing-plugin-code#post-60489 Sun, 27 May 2012 18:17:02 +0000 chasef 60489@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've been reading up on how to add onclick event tracking to the "submit" button on gravity forms, but most of the answers require me to write the tracking code into the actual code for the plugin. I don't want to get that technical and won't it be removed every time I update Gravity Forms? So what I want to know is if there is a way to just enter the onclick event tracking code for Google Analytics in the Form Editor? </p>
