If you're having issues installing the ga.js on either an ASP site or
Blogger, please use the following code instead:

<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">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxx-xx");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();

(replace xxxx-xx with your Google Analytics account number)

The new code passes W3c XHTML 1.0 strict compliance verification,
mitigates Nested Script errors on ASP on IIS, and installs on Blogger
and will be the default code provided within the Google Analytics
interface.

Thanks to everyone who both reported the issue and suggested fixes!

You need to make sure you close the </script> tag after the last
pageTracker call too.

<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">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxx-xx");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>

Why does Google not validate their code before publishing? The lack of
conformance with the W3C is causing troubles for some products, as
this case shows.

Why not hide javascript from old browsers (and fussy validators) using
the comments hack? It would save all the unescaping. At least it seems
to be accepted by blogger. Not sure if it works (generates data)
though.

i.e.
<script>
<!-- hide javascript
...
// end hide -->
</script>

That wouldn't have stopped the Nested Script errors in ASP though.

Generally for xhtml you'd use:

<script type="text/javascript">
  // <![CDATA[
    your code goes here
 // ]]>
</script>

That will always validate in xhtml 1.0 strict as well as xhtml 1.1,
unless you've got a CDATA in your js... but that's easy to fix by
splitting it.

I've added the new-new GA code, as posted above, to our site and it
returns two errors: "_gat not defined" and "Error: unterminated string
literal.... Source Code:var gaJsHost = (("https:" ==
document.location.protocol) ? "https://".

Any idea what is causing this to happen?

Thanks for any input,

Adam

ASP returns an error that the scripts are nested, Instead:

Use a VBScript Sub to write all your ga.js.

'Example with page title
Call WriteGoogleAnalitycsCode("Page Title")
'Example without page title
Call WriteGoogleAnalitycsCode("")

Sub WriteGoogleAnalitycsCode(pageTitle)

response.write("<scr" & "ipt type=""text/javascript"">" & vbcr)
response.write("var gaJsHost = ((""https:"" ==
document.location.protocol) ? ""https://ssl."" : ""http://www."");" &
vbcr)
response.write("document.write(""\<script src='"" + gaJsHost +
""google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'>\<\/
script>"" );"
& vbcr)
response.write("</scr" & "ipt>" & vbcr)
response.write("<scr" & "ipt type=""text/javascript"">" & vbcr)
response.write("var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(""UA-xxxx-xx"");"
& vbcr)
response.write("pageTracker._initData();" & vbcr)
response.write("pageTracker._trackPageview(")
If LenB(pageTitle) <> 0 Then response.write(Chr(34) & pagetitle &
Chr(34)) End If
response.write(");" & vbcr)
response.write("</scr" & "ipt>" & vbcr)
response.write("" & vbcr)

End Sub

Or just write the version (HTTP/HTTPS) your site uses and be done with
it, and also XHTML compliant

What would the correct version look like for a HTTP site that is XHTML
1.0 Transitional? We are not running Blogger or ASP and still having
problems tracking/validating.

Thanks for helping a java newbie! :)

I had a similar problem when cutting and pasting the code that one of
the strings was split over 2 lines. make sure there are no extra
newlines in the code you have.
