render google analytics at end of head
Hi,
For some time now, google has changed the way you can incorporate an
analytics snippet. The former one was slow and synchronous, the current one
is asynchronous, so I would like to use that one. However you have to place
it just before </head>. Placing it in our base page at the end of
wicket:head doesn't work as wicket pushes it's own extra's for ajax related
stuff. Is there a way to make sure the analytics snippet goes to the exact
end of the head section?
Thanks,
Wouter

I think this is not hack, but "raw" post-processing :) Strict processing can
be done with XsltTransformerBehavior or as Martin said, you can use JS.

FWIW, I've been using async analytics for months with the snippet in the middle of the head section, and it seems to work just fine. I'd be curious to know why it matters...
One tip for using analytics with wicket: you can pass an explicit (logical) url to track -- just add a string after _trackPageview. This is useful for instrumenting wicket apps where the actual URL may not contain useful tracking information.

Hm, interesting, on this page:
http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en_US&answer=174090&utm_id=ad
they say:
"
Once you find the code snippet, copy and paste it into your web page, *just
before the closing* </head> tag
"
This is why I'm asking... If I just dump it in the head in my base page
html, wicket still puts other script tags after it (default wicket js
libraries for ajax calls).

What about using plain javascript to create the new <script> and append it
in the <head> ?
This is what GA recommend in their documentation.
see http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/tut_analytics.html for example

This looks like hacking into the output string buffer? That seems a bit of a
dirty hack to me, that would involve splitting up just before </head> and
appending code their.
I hope there is a better way than this...
