Track That!

7 February 2016 By iPasqualito

This function tracks every event with all its attributes in the div that’s set in the caller function. Handy if you need custom tracking for your AB test.


var trackThat = function() {
    
    var t = {},
        r = {},
        a = window.event ? window.event.srcElement : i.target,
        c = document.getElementsByTagName(a.tagName),
        k = "";
    try {
        for (var d = 0; d < c.length; ++d) c[d] == a && (r.tag = a.tagName, r.index = d, r.text = a.hasChildNodes() ? a.childNodes[0].data : "null"); for (var l, d = 0, o = a.attributes, g = o.length; g > d; d++) l = o[d], t[l.nodeName] = l.nodeValue;
        r.attrs = t, k = JSON.stringify(r);
    } catch (i) {
        k = "error: " + i.message;
    } finally {
        return k;
    }
};

$( 'div.main-holder' ).on('click', function(e){
    console.log(trackThat(e));
});
