    what exactly do you mean or is your problem?

    All there is to it is make a call to the urchintracker function with some variables set ;)

    yeah exactly like i need to have all the code they provide in one javascript file called, stats.js, because I call this file from a lot of my pages on the site and it used to have statcounter code but now I would like to have analytics code but I can only fit in this java file as it would be a lot harder to go through and change all the files.

    What you could do is add in your javascript file.

    
    document.write("<script language='JavaScript' src='url to javascript file' type='text/javascript'></script>");
    
    Code (markup):
    I'm not completely sure that would work but that would be your best bet.
