cheers, Aphorism.

That’s true; I did get my “error on page” to disappear when I tried it again. You’re right; you can put the code in the body section of advanced.

However, one problem with this is whatever you put into the body box of the advanced section automatically gets put at the top of the body section in your html. The instructions for Google Analytics tell you to put the code at the bottom of the body section. I got around this by putting the code into a text element instead of using the advanced function. Then I moved the text element as far down on the page in layout mode as I could. It still wasn’t totally at the bottom of the body section, but it was closer.

The other problem is that there are 2 different instructions for setting up Google Analytics. If you just set up the vanilla version, you’re right, all you need to do is add the script to the page. However, if you want to set it up for eCommerce, the Google Analytics instructions tell you to put something in the body tag,
body onLoad=”javascript:_utmSetTrans()”

With Storesonline, there’s no way to modify the body tag this way other than to pay their programmers to do it.

But if you just want the basic version of Google Analytics, you’re right, it can be set up.

Basically, what you have to do is go into the Advanced section of the Home page (in the Pages section) and add the google script to the Head and Body sections as requested by google. The script goes something like this:

There’s more to it but if you have StoresOnlinePro, it can be done.

If that doesn’t work for you, you can also use FTP to upload a basic HTML page with the code google wants. I’ve tried both and they worked. Look in the help files and search for http://FTP. It’s recommend a program Filezilla. It’s pretty easy.

Hope this helps.
