New page

The '''cr_track_id''' call in ConversionRuler is is used to track when the mouse is clicked on a particular ID within an [[HTML]] page, and can be used to track [[Flash]] advertisements, non-link elements, or link elements.

== Function parameters ==

The '''cr_track_id''' function is identical to '''cr_track''' but with an additional, first parameter which is the ID of the element to track.

function cr_track_id("''id-to-track''", "''action_code''", "''action_reference_1''", "''action_amount_1''", "''action_reference_2''", "''action_amount_2''", ... ''4 additional tracking parameters'')

You should call this function '''after''' the [[Tracking Snippet]] is invoked on the page.

Similar to the [[cr_track]] you can pass up to four '''text values''' and four '''amounts''' to ConversionRuler to be stored along with the action that a visitor has taken.

In addition, if any of the variables are defined in the global scope:

* cramount ''or'' cramount0
* cramount1
* cramount2
* cramount3
* crtext ''or'' crtext0
* crtext1
* crtext2
* crtext3

They will be passed to ConversionRuler when the element on the page is clicked.

== Example 1: Passing values explicitly ==
Our page contains the following [[HTML]]:

<nowiki><div id="advertisement">
<script type="text/javascript">
var ad_id = 412623423;
... Flash advertisement code ...
</script>
</div>

... ConversionRuler Tracking Snippet ...

<script type="text/javascript">
cr_track_id("advertisement", 3, "top-ad", null, ad_id);
</script></nowiki>

Clicks on the [[div]] with ID '''advertisement''' are tracked, and the reference values "top-ad" and "412623423" (the value of ad_id) are passed to ConversionRuler if the visitor clicks the ad.

== Example 1: Passing values using globals ==
Our page contains the following [[HTML]]:

<nowiki><div id="advertisement">
<script type="text/javascript">
var ad_id = 412623423;
var crtext0 = "top-ad";
var crtext1 = ad_id;
... Flash advertisement code ...
</script>
</div>

... ConversionRuler Tracking Snippet ...

<script type="text/javascript">
cr_track_id("advertisement", 3);
</script></nowiki>

Clicks on the [[div]] with ID '''advertisement''' is tracked, and the reference values "top-ad" ('''crtext0''') and "412623423" ('''crtext1''') are passed to ConversionRuler if the visitor clicks the ad.

This method of passing values to ConversionRuler may be more error prone with multiple IDs tracked on a page due to the fact that it uses global values.
