 * Hi,
    Does anyone know how to fix this page error? In firebug it says, missing}
   after try block pageTracker._trackPageview();\n
 * and
 * The code looks like:
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">
       try {
       var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("");
       pageTracker._trackPageview();
       </script>
       ```
   
 * Thanks.

 * Should be this:
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">
       try {
       var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("");
       pageTracker._trackPageview();
       } catch(err) {}</script>
       ```

 * Thanks, but where do I put it. The plugin code is as follows:

       			$options  = get_option('GoogleAnalyticsPP');
   
       			if ( $options["uastring"] != "" && (!current_user_can('edit_users') || $options["admintracking"]) && !is_preview() ) {
