LOGTARGET Element

---

Specifies where to send a CDF client page-hit log file.

Syntax

<LOGTARGET
    HREF="url"
    METHOD="POST"
    SCOPE="ALL" | "OFFLINE" | "ONLINE"
>

Attributes

HREF

Required. URL the log will be sent to.

METHOD

Required. String value that specifies the HTTP method to be used for sending the data.

SCOPE

String value that specifies which type of page hits should be logged. Page hits can be logged for offline (read from local cache) or online (read from URL) browsing. The default for this attribute is "ALL", which logs both types of hits.

Element Information

Number of occurrences	None or one (top-level channel only)
Parent elements	CHANNEL
Child elements	HTTP-EQUIV, PURGETIME
File formats supported	CDF
Requires closing tag	Yes

Remarks

This element must occur before any ITEM elements in the CDF file.

The LOGTARGET's domain must be the same as the CDF file's domain. The log file can only be sent to the domain that served the channel. This is to prevent providers from tracking the client's use of other provider's sites.
