      Can I ask for a small addition to the code to support cookieless subdomains?

      In order to set up a cookieless subdomain I want to make sure that my server or application only sets cookies for www.example.com and not the top-level example.com. (Cookies set at the top-level domain apply to all subdomains as well.) One known cookie-setters is Google Analytics, therefore my question to make the following change to your great plugin.

      For Google Analytics, you have to set the “_setDomainName” value to your www domain. Like this:

      _gaq.push(
      [’_setAccount’, ’UA-xxxxxxx-1’],
      [’_setDomainName’, ’www.example.com’],
      [’_trackPageview’]
      );

      Thanks

      Oliver

        I made the changes myself, please find attached version 1.7

        The cookies from google analytics are now contained to just www.yourdomain.com

        This is handy for the sake of working with cookieless subdomains.

        Don’t know how to upload to repository, but here it is.

            Found the issue needed a \ before any " that fixed it.

              Thank you for your plugin, but you have a small error in it:
              _gaq.push(['_trackPageview'] $trackingName_value);

              should be replaced with
              _gaq.push(['_trackPageview'$trackingName_value]);

                Hi Derelict

                Thanks - I’ve corrected this and uploaded the new version (1.7) to the repository

                  Hi Oliver
                  I’d suggest adding this via the extraJs parameter, which allows you to insert extra JS at that point in the script, rather than modifying the script directly, as not everyone will require this.
