onclick tracking, 1st September 2007
Moved core Google Analytics urchin script to standard page header include files and removed from existing body placements. Corrected some include statements in email form templates and added tracking code to those not already configured. Then added tracking onclick events to all text ad links. Also separated the analytics script from the function call in the CodeStyleTemplate class to implement onclick handlers in the servlet TextAds class.
Replaced the Anchor Points sidebar and footbar navigation links with the HTML and XHTML section index and re-ordered to follow the Javascript section and moved the site log link to the bottom of the list. Updated accesskey references as appropriate.
Added a deploy.notest target to the Ant build script for rapid deployment of minor changes to servlets without testing.
Added mailing lists subscription links to all local navigation boxouts.
