MooTools

How to use

1. Install the Google Analytics tracking code as usual. The asynchronous and synchronous versions are both supported.

2. Instantiate an ExitPoll object once the DOM is ready:

       window.addEvent("domready", function(){
           new ExitPoll(); 
       });
   

ExitPoll will then bind mouseup events on all links that point to another server, different port on the same server, or non-html file on the same server. Mailto links will also be caught. When the user clicks on one of the links, and does not cancel the click, ExitPoll will register a PageView with Google Analytics. Outgoing links will be prepended with "/outgoing/". Download links will be prepended with "/download/".

Syntax

new ExitPoll([options]);
