Tracking form submission

for cart abandonment

[DonQ]

I want to track the submission of a form (Post) to a payment processor, a simple entry in the logs everytime the specific submit button is clicked will do.

Been trying to find out how to do this for days, but no joy. Could someone advise me please? Thinking along the lines of hitting a tracking image or redirection, but I seem lost...

Anyone?

If I do a redirect, how do I forward the Post data?

Or is it possible with Javascript?
Thanks

seeing as there are no other replies,

a redirect on a post is a bad idea because IE has a setting that denies that action.

it can be done with javascript.

some tracking services can actually do the round trip recording the post, the fact that your user made it back, and the amount. that is additionally leveraged to do stats like value per page, value per visit, daily totals, related referers, related search terms, daily hot spots ...

how do i know this? i wrote the code.

sticky mail is a bad idea as i seldom bother to log in.
