Google new code won't work

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxx-x");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>

Need some help please.

Please explain what you are doing.

Moved to customizations.

He means that the newer google analytics code which is supposed to be inserted just before the closing body tag of the HTML. Produces an error like this when you load your board -

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /hsphere/local/home/jasidog/boxers.jasidog.com/talk/templates/boxers/global.tpl.php on line 173

I guess it involves unescaped bits of code or something. Any ideas what to change?

Line 173 looks like this by the way -

document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));

Templates are encapsulated into strings (surrounded by single quotes), thus any single quotes need to be escaped.

Thank you for helping with what I'm sure seems like an idiot question Dietrich.

Works fine now, appreciated!
