Doh... Stinking MS Word email... Formatted better: Then in your jQuery on load: // this would be a link to your server side tracking var trackURL = 'http://www.mywebsite.com/tracking/?trackbyURL=' // override the default click event $(".advert").click(function(){ window.location = trackURL + $(this).attr('href'); return false; });

In your html: <a href="http://www.advertlink.com"; title="Some Ad to an Adverts page" class="advert">Click me I'm an Advert!</a> Then in your jQuery on load: // this would be a link to your server side tracking var trackURL = 'http://www.mywebsite.com/tracking/?trackbyURL=' // override the default click event $(".advert").click(function(){ window.location = trackURL + $(this).attr('href'); return false; }); If they don't have JavaScript enabled your link still works... but you don't track the click. This is just off the top of my head, so there are probably better ways. I'm going to assume this is best however for SEO. -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Savery Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 8:51 AM To: jQuery (English) Subject: [jQuery] Using jQuery to track advert clicks Hi, Is it possible to use jQuery to track advert clicks? I have adverts that appear on certain pages of my site. Whenever someone clicks on an advert, I would like to record this as a new entry in a database table (tblAdvertClicks). I know I could pass the visitor to a processing page then forward them on to the advert destination, but I want the link to do directly from my site to the advertisers - without a 3rd page being involved (this is for SEO purposes in case anyone is interested). Someone suggested jQuery could do this. Can anyone help?
