I am using the async version of Google Analytics along with custom variables and events. I have placed the tracking script (cut and paste from google) at the end of the section.
The custom variable is set above the tracking code in the head section. I’m assuming that Googles Analytics will send the data including the custom variable on page load. What happens if I have onclick triggered events? Will the custom variable in the head section get sent along with each event that is triggered as well?
I’m not sure how this plays out with javascript.
Thanks!
It depends on the scope of the custom variable. Page view scope will only send/report the first time. You will have to include it in the onclick code that is triggered to get it to count each click.
If you have it as a visit/session scope, in the reports, it will associate itself for each click event for the duration of the visit/session.
