Google Analytics in Footer

[intoys]

When I try to include my google analytics code in the footer:

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-7980192-4");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>

It will not display my footer at all. When I take it out, it's fine ...

Any help I receive would be greatly appreciated, as I would like to use GA.

Put the code between literal tags


{literal}
Analytics code here......
{/literal}


like


{literal}
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-7980192-4");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>
{/literal}

{literal} is quite powerful.

Sometimes your javascript needs page related data to work (eg: iProductId/sProductName etc)

It is perfectly fine to close literal within the javascript so the variable is parsed, and then open it again for the rest of the javascript, like this snippet Ive taken from a non sw site Im building:


{literal}
<script>

$('#rating_{/literal}{$iProductId}{literal}').text(data)

</script>
{/literal}
