any SQL Server/Windows Server experts here? Question about data being stripped from form input.
#1
I'm trying to setup Google Adwords Conversion Tracking on a site that's running on a Windows Server with SQL Server. Normally setting up conversion tracking consists of getting the code that google gives you and adding it to the "confirmation" page, i.e. the page that you see after submitting a contact form on a website, for example. I've set this up numerous times on numerous web servers. It is normally a very simple procedure.

This time around, though, I'm having some trouble. When I take this Google code (anonymized a bit):


<script type=>
/* var google_conversion_id = 0000000000;
var google_conversion_language =
en
;
var google_conversion_format =
3
;
var google_conversion_color =
ffffff
;
var google_conversion_label = S-MbCNLbzwIQquKV9AM;
var google_conversion_value = 0;
/* ]]> */
</script>
<script type= src=
http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js
>
</script>


and try and add it to the page in question, this is the only code that gets saved. The rest of it is automatically stripped:

 

I've tried updating this code through the CMS (DotNetNuke) , and now directly within the database (SQL Server), and it's stripping the same code both places, so I'm assuming either IIS and SQL Server doesn't like part of the Google code for some reason and is removing it. Google adwords support has been no help.

Is there anything I can do here to address the issue? I'm open to any ideas. Thanks!

Sorry, a little above my ability.

I have a hard time thinking it's the DB doing it. It's most likely DotNetNuke. It could be SQL... some security setting trying to thwart injections.

I would search for setting up conversion tracking with DotNetNuke. There's got to be a ton of people out there doing that.

And can't you just add the code to the template for the conversion page anyway?

The form is generated using a plugin/module, which is why I need to update the code in the database...there is no page template that I could separate out from the rest of the site in order to use unique tracking code.

I did some searching, but didn't find anyone with a similar issue.

I did try contacting the vendor for the forms plugin/module, but haven't heard back....to be honest I don't expect to. The site was developed several years ago by another developer that's long gone, so going to him won't do us any good.

The site is being hosted by godaddy--I've not dealt with them before in terms of hosting, so not sure if posing this question to them would yield anything or not. Anyone have experience dealing with them?
