Can I test pageviews in localhost?

Question

Let me explain better: I must add some functions to track pages, but I don't have permission to access our company WebTrends account.

So, I'm testing on my localhost before asking to the responsible for WebTrends if he saw anything, and I don't know if will work..

Example: From localhost/solutions/default.asp?tab=products I have a button which needs to have click counting:

dcsMultiTrack('DCS.dcssip','www.realdomainname.com','DCS.dcsuri','/solutions/default.asp','DCS.dcsqry','tab=Products');
// generating a page view to: http://www.webtrends.com/solutions/default.asp?tab=products

Answer 1

Yes. Install httpfox for firefox, open the plugin to listen to the http traffic, access your page from localhost and look for a gif request to statse.webtrends.com: if you find it, the tag works, if not, there's an issue...
