Google Analytics Tracking Code Issue with Contribute CS3 - _gat is not defined,

You may have noticed in Google Analytics that there is a new code and a legacy code. We recently experienced an issue where a client updating their content using Contribute CS3 repeatedly got script errors on their pages as soon as they published changes. The site reported that there was a closing issue with the script and it added ")); below the footer on each published page. The site was written using the new Google tracking code:

The solution, after trying several alternative template changes, seems to be using the legacy analytics code as it seems to work without issue with Contribute CS3.

Please note: the legacy tracking code is urchin.js and the new tracking code is ga.js

There is a much longer explanation of the issue, but for now, the simple fix saves lots of time.
