Google analytics - What is the differnece? - Website Analytics - Tracking and Logging forum at WebmasterWorld

Hello, I had been working on one of my sites and google analaytics suddenly dropped from about 10 visitors/day to zero. I took a look at the GA code and it showed

<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">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("nnnnnnnnn");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>
<br>

When I go to the "Get tracking code", the code it gives me is

<script type="text/javascript">

 var _gaq = _gaq || [];
 _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'nnnnnnn]);
 _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

 (function() {
 var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
 ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
 var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
 })();

</script>

I'm just wondering why I am seeing two different versions of the code. I am using Joomla for the site and the code is in the footer.

thanks

chris
