Tracking Outbound Link Clicks with JavaScript

I have previously used the JavaScript OnClick method to track outbound link clicks, when I had Urchin stats installed on my hosting package.

<a href="http://www.example.com/example.html" onClick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/Outbound/Link1');">Example Link 1</a>

I now have SmarterStats (not out of choice) and wondered if there was an equivalent way of tracking outbound links.

I have looked at many of the examples and previous topics, and don't really understand Javascript, so have not been able to modify any of these.

Can I still use an OnClick type event. Is there also a way, using Javascript to track clicks that will also write the information to an Microsoft Access database?

Thanks

Did you check out their forum? It looks to be fairly active.

I presume you mean SmarterStats forums, in which case yeh, did a good search of it, but the only approachs seemed to be using redirect pages, which is what I want to avoid.

Thanks
