Click Events

Wednesday, November 2, 2022

Click Events track when a user clicks on certain form elements within a page. This provides tracking around some interaction with the page that may trigger other events like a data submission or app navigation.

Note: Click Events are currently specific to the Web SDK

Definition

Click Events contain 2 main elements:

  • Target Element - The HTML element being clicked. This will include a unique identifier that can be used to match the element with interactions in other events that include the targetElement field.

  • Position - The coordinates of the click specified in logical pixels

Tracked Elements

Click Events are constrained to a specific list of UI elements. The tracked elements are:

  • INPUT
  • BUTTON
  • SELECT
  • TEXTAREA

This includes all sub-elements of INPUT like date and checkbox. For the full list, check out the MDN list of HTML Input Elements.
