Tracking number of visitors who contact us via mailto or submit form

[pweaver]

OK, here goes...

Someone I am working with wants to track how many of their visitors to the contact page actually click on the mailto link or submit the contact form.

They want to be able to see both of these numbers together in their stats program and compare it with how many visited the contact page.

Any wild and crazy programmers out there who know if/how this can be done?

The key here is a solution that takes both mailto click and submit form clicks and records them in a way that can be observed in the stats program (currently using AWStats).

I know this sounds all so lovely, so let me know whether or not it is possible....

Thanks!

in your logs

the contact page requests will be the GET for that pagename

the submitted forms will have a POST line to the form action page

the mailto clicks are client side so they won't show

you could just simply remove the mailto and only have the form
