Hello posters, I'm having issues Google Analytics to track transactions made from our website.  Though I was able to record pageviews from my page, I was unable to record transactions from this page.  In desperation, I created a static HTML page using Google's code and debug javascript module.  Even with this, Google Analytics still has recorded no transactions, even after several days.

Here's my code:
 
<html>
<head>
<title>Receipt for your clothing purchase from Acme Clothing</title>
<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-17111369-4']);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
  _gaq.push(['_addTrans',
    '1234',           // order ID - required
    'Acme Clothing',  // affiliation or store name
    '1199',          // total - required
    '129',           // tax
    '5',              // shipping
    'San Jose',       // city
    'California',     // state or province
    'USA'             // country
  ]);

   // add item might be called for every item in the shopping cart
   // where your ecommerce engine loops through each item in the cart and
   // prints out _addItem for each
  _gaq.push(['_addItem',
    '1234',           // order ID - required
    'DD44',           // SKU/code - required
    'T-Shirt',        // product name
    'Green Medium',   // category or variation
    '1199',          // unit price - required
    '1'               // quantity - required
  ]);
  _gaq.push(['_trackTrans']); //submits transaction to the Analytics servers

  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/u/ga_debug.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();

</script>
</head>

  Thank you for your order.  You will receive an email containing all your order details.

When  I visit this page I see the following in the javascript console:

I know google analytics is capturing this pageview, as its popping up in my real-time view.

But it never shows up in my list of Transactions, even though I've been accessing this identical page since last Wednesday


Does anyone have any insight into this issue?

Did you ever resolve this, I have an issue where the beacon is notsending unless i click the chrome refresh button.  I think its related to the Apache server and Chrome caching but not sure.
