 * It seems that if you put the outbound tracking on that the code on line 467-468
   is not working probably and causing double quotes too early in the onclick argument.
 * My fix:
    //if (preg_match(‘/onclick=[\’\”](.*?)[\’\”]/i’, $matches[4]) > 0) {//
   $matches[4] = preg_replace(‘/onclick=[\’\”](.*?)[\’\”]/i’, ‘onclick=”‘ . $coolBit.’
   $1″‘, $matches[4]); if (preg_match(‘/onclick=”(.*?)”/i’, $matches[4]) > 0) { 
   $matches[4] = preg_replace(‘/onclick=”(.*?)”/i’, ‘onclick=”‘ . $coolBit .’ $1″‘,
   $matches[4]);
 * Not sure why you would allow single quotes here, couldn’t find any on my own 
   blog.
