Q about statcounter.com and zen cart CSS

hello all. this maybe in the wrong place, but I think it most fits here..

I use www.statcounter.com to track my stats. They give me a code to add to my site that stays in the background and counts while people surf...

well, I wanted it in my footer, but when I put it there, it breaks all my code and I get a page can not be displayed error.

Here's the code that they give me:

<!-- Start of StatCounter Code -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var sc_project=1126501; 
var sc_invisible=0; 
var sc_partition=10; 
var sc_security="1a349e49"; 
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="<A href="http://www.statcounter.com/counter/frames.js"></script><noscript><a">http://www.statcounter.com/counter/frames.js"></script><noscript><a href="[URL]http://www.statcounter.com/[/URL]" target="_blank"><img  src="[URL]http://c11.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=1126501&java=0&security=1a349e49&invisible=0[/URL]" alt="website metrics" border="0"></a> </noscript>
<!-- End of StatCounter Code -->

(sorry I don't know how to insert fancy code in this bb)

Can someone tell me what can possibly be causing the problem? and is this possilbe to fix?

Thanks!

i use a statcounter as well, and i think that their instructions require that the code be inside of < body > tags. since the < body > tags are in the includes/templates/yourtemplate/common/tpl_main_page.php, you have to add it there.

i put my code in after this, since it's the last thing:

but before the < / body > tag! should work like a charm! i have mine "hidden" though - so there's no little statcounter icon displayed.

is there another place for this file to be? it is not in any of my template folders. thanks.

If you don't already have it in your template folder, find it in includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_main_page.php and copy it to includes/templates/yourtemplate/common/tpl_main_page.php for editing.

FWIW, I put the noscript code in includes/templates/custom/common/tpl_header.php and the script code in (new file) includes/templates/custom/jscript/jscript_custom_counter.php - worked like a charm.

Hope you realise that if the Statcounter website goes down then the rest of your page will not load. This is why Statcounter suggests putting it at the end of all of your code but before the </body> tag.
