I was hoping someone could tell me why the onclick coding for the blue "Try a Free Search" button works (allows the click to happen) on www.theatrebuddies.co.za using left-mouse button .... YET on www.theatrebuddies.co.uk the left-mouse button does not work at all and only works using the middle-mouse button ... PLUS it opens in a new tab. This is really strange to me.

The main reason I am using onclick is for the purposes of Google Analytics.

I've just spent hours and hours coding up hundreds of onclick variables only discover this confusion why it works on the .co.za site but not the other one. Is this a Firefox issue?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

You have the following in your ZA but not your UK: 

_gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);

Is that it? Would be an easy fix...

Hey mate! Thank you so much, this absolutely must be correct. I will get it implemented within the next 24 hours and let you know. I can't thank you enough as I spent hours coding up around 100 onclick variables and didn't want to have to roll it all back. Thank you.

Also note that the page source shows a </div> in red (on hover: stray end tag "div") 

<div class="login">
<h3>Member Login</h3>
<p>South African members please login by <br /><a href="http://app.theatrebuddies.co.za/login" onclick="_gaq.push(['_link', 'http://app.theatrebuddies.co.za/login']); return false;">clicking here</a></p>
