In some cases it might be even better to use the trackEvent function of Google Analytics so that every sent form can be tracked as an Event.
E.g.:
on_sent_ok: “pageTracker._trackEvent(‘Formular’,'Absenden’,'Dr. Klein’);”

I had the same problem. Looked at the code, realized that I used Ultimate GA (Google Analytics) so that when I am logged in the tracking code does not show on the page hence the script did not work.

If you are using Ultimate GA, try logging out and try the form again.

Simply line up them like this:

on_sent_ok: "pageTracker._trackPageview('/mysite/thank-you.html');"
on_sent_ok: "location.replace('domain.com/confirmation/');"

I think it would be safe to do the tracking first, and the redirection last.

Great to learn how to track form submissions.

Where can I find how to combine this snippet of code with the
on_sent_ok: “location.replace(‘domain.com/confirmation/’);” snippet I am using already?

Yes. It means some JavaScript errors were happening. Submit it to the support forum if you need further help.

This is great, the only issue I noticed is that the AJAX confirmation message no longer shows up. Did I do something wrong?

Hi, thanks for your great form generator and the usefull info on this page. Would it maybe be better if this could be a general setting for all comments. And that you only have to enable the function and to fill in only the name of the tracker? Icing on the cake would be that I could enable or disable the general tracking per form and use a custom tracker if I wish?
