Reported by d...@lyndseyhamiltonevents.com, Oct 10, 2009
I am using nyromodal for a contact form.

I would like to use the Google Adwords tracking feature.

My "thank you" section is called through PHP.

If I include the tracking code anywhere inside the frame set it will result
in a blank page.

Any advice.

The website is LyndseyHamiltonEvents.com

Did you mean with Google Analytics?
If so, please check https://code.google.com/p/nyromodal/issues/detail?id=343

No, not analytics, Google Adwords. It uses some sort of Javascript to send the info.

I think I found a solution though I believe it is working, maybe I will keep the
board updated, because I could not find a solution elsewhere.

I believe that adding a hidden Iframe that opens up another HTML file that contains
the code works.

<iframe src="http://www.mywebsite.com/ConversionPage.html"
  style="width:0;height:0;border:0;"></iframe>

I am a little confused, bc when I change the code to have height and width, I still
get no iframe. I am not that familiar with the iframe implementation so, who knows?

ok sorry.
I never worked with adWords API, so I can't help you.
Basically, you need to call a JS function when something occurs?
If so, tell me more about the exact behavior you want and I'll be able to describe
how you can do it.

Yeah, I actually did end up solving this issue. The solution is quite simple, and
surprisingly hard to find. 

I just used another iFrame with no size. 

Strangely enough, it does NOT work with the way I am using Analytics, for some reason
Analytics does not register that this is getting loaded, not really sure.

I am pretty certain this is working with Adwords. Here is the code I ended up using:

<iframe src="http://www.mywebsite.com/HTML File with Code embedded"
  style="width:0;height:0;border:0;"></iframe>

I think this is working, although I am getting far fewer clicks than I had imagined.
I definitely recommend tracking your Adwords.
