Question

I’m triyng to push multiple items into the _gaq.push() for google analytics.

I have an array of Ids that im looping through to create the array to pass to .push();

var gaDetails = new Array();
var productIdsArray = productIds.split(",");
for(var i = 0; i < productIdsArray.length; ++i)
    gaDetails.push(['_trackEvent', 'Quote', '' + step, '' + productIdsArray[i]]);

_gaq.push(gaDetails);

It looks like theres an extra set of [] around each array. Maybe I’m not seeing something but the way google describes their syntax looks wrong?

Answer 1

you don’t need the other array, and while you’re at it you might as well use a faster loop.

var productIdsArray = productIds.split(","),
    i = productIdsArray.length;

while(i--)
{
   _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Quote', '' + step, '' + productIdsArray[i]]);
}
