How dangerous is e.preventDefault();, and can it be replaced by keydown/mousedown tracking?

Question

I\'m working on a tracking script for a fairly sophisticated CRM for tracking form actions in Google Analytics. I\'m trying to balance the desire to track form actions accuratel

Answer 1

Another approach:

var pageTracker;
_gaq.push(function() {
    pageTracker = _gat._getTrackerByName();
});

$('form').submit(function(e){
    pageTracker._trackEvent('Form', 'Submit', $(this).attr('action'));
};

I would guess this way _trackEvent would be synchronous but I haven't tested it.
