Trying to add string literal to Javascript for Google Analytics

Hi all.
I'm trying to set a string literal in some Javascript, in order to try and pass a page URL to Google Analytics. I've tried creating a panel with the following markup, and putting it just before the end of my body tag: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:wicket="http://wicket.apache.org/dtds.data/wicket-xhtml1.4-strict.dtd" > <body> <wicket:panel> <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"> try { var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("TRACKINGID"); pageTracker._trackPageview('<span wicket:id="analyticspagename"></span>'); } catch(err) {} </script> </wicket:panel> </body> </html> As you can see, I'm trying to set the parameter of the _trackPageview method (or function, whatever it's called in Javascript). I've tried doing this using a span tag, as you can see, but it doesn't work, and I get the following message: "WicketMessage: The component(s) below failed to render. A common problem is that you have added a component in code but forgot to reference it in the markup (thus the component will never be rendered)." The Java code for my panel looks like the following: public class FooterPanel extends Panel { private static final long serialVersionUID = 9196070061210793618L; public FooterPanel(String id, String analyticsPagename) { super(id); Label label = new Label("analyticspagename", analyticsPagename); label.setRenderBodyOnly(true); add(label); } } I didn't really expect this to work, but I can't think of a better way. I'm sure that I'm missing something really obvious here, so can anyone help? BTW, I'm really enjoying using Wicket. I have a severe allergy to XML, so it's brilliant. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I'd rather keep the script in my markup if
possible. Is there any way to do this so that I don't have to output the entire Javascript block from my Java code? Thanks. Neil.

Have you Try using a HeaderContribution, factoring out that JavaScript into a separate .js and then do variable Interpolation.
See the following example at Eelco Hillenius blog's Hope this is what you need.

Hi.
Thanks for the reply. I did read that blog post previously, but I don't really want the pageTracker._trackPageview function to be run in the page header. For Google Analytics (or any other Javascript-based analytics for that matter) the best practice is to put the tracking code just before the close of the body tag, to ensure that it's run only when the page is fully loaded. Perhaps I'm missing something though, would it be possible to do this with the TextTemplateHeaderContributor? Thanks. Neil.

FYI, I solved this by putting my Javascript in a separate file, and
loading this using a PackagedTextTemplate. The code for my footer panel looks like the following: public FooterPanel(String id, String analyticsPagename) { super(id); PackagedTextTemplate template = new PackagedTextTemplate(getClass(), "ga-execute.js", "text/javascript"); Map variables = new HashMap(); variables.put("analyticspagename", analyticsPagename); TextTemplate interpolated = template.interpolate(variables); Label label = new Label("googleanalytics", interpolated.asString()); label.setRenderBodyOnly(true); label.setEscapeModelStrings(false); add(label); } And ga-execute.js looks like: <script type="text/javascript"> try { var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXXX-X"); pageTracker._trackPageview('${analyticspagename}'); } catch(err) {}</script> And the markup for my footer panel is very simple: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:wicket="http://wicket.apache.org/dtds.data/wicket-xhtml1.4-strict.dtd" > <body> <wicket:panel> <wicket:container wicket:id="googleanalytics"></wicket:container> </wicket:panel> </body> </html> Thanks to everyone for all your help.
