Universal Analytics: Multiple inline OnClick events triggered by single click

Question

I want to trigger multiple inline OnClick events on a single click.

The first (window.open) triggers a Facebook share dialog box. This fires properly.

The second {ga(...) } should trigger an event goal in Google (Universal) Analytics. However, this second OnClick event does not work properly and the goal is not being recorded in GA.

<a 
class="facebook-share" 
href="#" 
onclick="
   window.open('https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u='+encodeURIComponent(location.href), 
   'facebook-share-dialog', 
   'width=626,height=436'); 
   return false; 
   ga('send', 'event', 'social share', 'facebook share', 'top button' );
"> 
   Share on Facebook
</a>

Any idea how to fix such that the FB share dialog still fires, and the click is also tracked in GA?

Answer 1

You have return false between calls, so handler exits before the second call. Place it after the call to ga() function.
