Re: Analytics Integration in GWT - GET request for __utm.gif not being sent

Thanks to Raphael, I now have a solution. I have changed my code to:

public void initialiseAnalytics(final String analyticsAccount, final
String domainName) {
Element firstScript =
Document.get().getElementsByTagName("script").getItem(0);

String scriptContent =
"var _gaq = _gaq || [];" +
"_gaq.push(['_setAccount', '" + analyticsAccount + "']);" +
"_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', '" + domainName + "']);" +
"_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);";
ScriptElement config =
Document.get().createScriptElement(scriptContent);

firstScript.getParentNode().insertBefore(config, firstScript);

ScriptElement script = Document.get().createScriptElement();

// Add the google analytics script.
script.setSrc(("https:".equals(Window.Location.getProtocol())
? "https://ssl" : "http://www") + ".google-analytics.com/
ga.js");
script.setType("text/javascript");
script.setAttribute("async", "true");

firstScript.getParentNode().insertBefore(script, firstScript);
}
