 * Hi,
    I’m trying to add some code to my responsive Theme so that when someone 
   clicks on the download button it’s tracked by Google Analytics. This is the code
   that I put in the editor /
 *     ```
       echo '<a href="http://www.videoto.org">Visit Products Page</a> '"$options['cta_url'].'" class="blue button">';
       					echo $options['cta_text'];
       				    echo '';
       ```
   
 * but now when I go to my site, I see this error message
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /home/
   content/65/9642965/html/wp-content/themes/responsive/home.php on line 79.
    Not
   quite sure what this means or where my error is. If it helps the webste is [http://www.videoto.org](http://www.videoto.org)
   and I’m using the Responsive theme. Thanks

 * This bit,
 *     ```
       '"$options['cta_url'].'" class="blue button">';
       ```
   
 * Is not part of the anchor,
 *     ```
       <a href="http://www.videoto.org">Visit Products Page</a>
       ```
   
 * The error will probably persist but let’s start with this.

 * This is weird, I just looked at the code I entered and its missing the onclick
   part. The entire snippet should have been
 *     ```
       echo '<a href="http://www.videoto.org" onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Link Clicks', 'downloads',
       'The product link on the sales page']);">Visit Products Page</a> '"$options['cta_url'].'" class="blue button">';
       					echo $options['cta_text'];
       				    echo '</a>';
       ```

 * You’re closing your string on trackEvent as well.

 * Hey Andrew,
    Thanks for helping me out here, I don’t have a lot of coding knowledge,
   so I’m not sure what you mean I’m closing the string on trackEvent as well.
 * Do I not want to close the string, and if so, how do I open it.
 * Thanks again
    Shauli
