Linking and Clicktrough
We automatically link classic images and click-count them. Non classical file formats must include a click tag on delivery.

    f.setAttribute(‚action‘, clickTag);
    f.setAttribute(‚method‘, ‚post‘);
    f.setAttribute(’style‘, ‚display:none;‘);
    document.getElementsByTagName(‚body‘)[0].appendChild(f);
    f.submit()
