: Text limit on analytics event code I am just about to add the event code a button that downloads the PDF. Event code fields: _trackEvent(category, action, opt_label, opt_value, opt_noninteraction)

@Sent6035632

opt_value should actually be an integer not a string. Although other char limit answers apply to the string values. e.g. action, opt_label.

Google's event tracking guide doesn't list a limit on those fields code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/eventTrackerGuide.html
A blog post suggests its 46 characters which may also be the limit for event tracking variables www.testically.org/2011/11/22/google-analytics-_setcustomvar-values-have-a-character-limit/
This will work:

_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar', 1, 'var_key', '1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456', 3]);


While this doesn’t:

_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar', 1, 'var_key', '12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890', 3]);
