Jquery Analytics tracking onclick NS_BINDING_ABORTED


Hey I am adding an onclick event to track clicks on certain videos, the 3rd party tool we are using is webtrends.

I am adding the onclick event and it works fine. The thing to note is the url in the link makes the user browse to a different url.

When I track the onclick event in httpfox I see the error NS_BINDING_ABORTED.

My jquery

$j(document).ready(function () {
$j('a.wt_video').click(function (e) {
    var title = ($j(this).attr("title"));
    if (title.length != 0) {
        handleDynamicVideoWebTrendsClick(title);
    }
});

});

Any ideas what I can add to prevent this error ?


Solution

  • I have found that we have to do two things to avoid the "Aborted" error.

    1) use setTimeout 2) use mousedown - Especially for FireFox, because it views click as both mousedown and mouseup

        $("#someBtn").live("mousedown", function(){
        var mT7 = setTimeout("myFunction()", 50); // 1000 would be a second
    });
    
    var myFunction = function(){
    var wtArgs = ['WT.dcs_id', 'youridgoeshere', 'DCSext.myFirstVar', varArray[varArray.length-2], 'DCSext.mySecondVar', varArray[varArray.length-1], 'DCSext.myThirdVar', tempArr[0]];
        dcsMultiTrack.apply(this, wtArgs);
    }
    

    Hope that helps
