Element Interactions

Element Clicked

Captures clicks on page elements.

The default configuration captures user interactions with interactive elements on your page. This optimizes capturing important interactions with your app while eliminating event noise (such as clicks to highlight text, white-space clicks, and so forth.) This includes:

All clicks on form elements: <a>, button, input, select, text area, label, and elements where contentEditable is set to true.
All clicks on video and audio elements
Clicks on select elements that result in a change on your page (for example, a modal appearing) or navigation to another page. These elements include divs, spans, and headers.
All clicks on elements with an attribute of data-amp-default-track or a class of amp-default-track.
You can customize this configuration to add or remove selectors. You can choose if you want those selectors to always be tracked or only track them when the click results in a change to the page.

Property Name	Description
Element ID	The `id` attribute of the HTML element. Example: if the clicked element is `<a id="myID">Home</a>` The property value is `myID`.
Element Class	The `class` attribute of the HTML element. Example: if the clicked element is `<a class="myClass">Home</a>` The property value is `myClass`.
Element Tag	The tag name of the HTML element. Example: if the clicked element is `<a href="#">Home</a>` The property value is `a`.
Element Text	The text content (`innerText`) of the HTML element. Only applies to the Element Clicked event. Example: if the clicked element is `<a href="#">Home</a>` The property value is `Home`.
Element Href	The `href` attribute, specifying the URL for a link. Only applies to `<a>` tags on the Element Clicked event. Example: if the clicked element is `<a href="https://www.amplitude.com">Home</a>` The property value is `https://www.amplitude.com`.
Element Position Left	Captures the distance of the element from the left of the screen view (pixels). Example: a value of `600` means the clicked element was 600px from the left of the view screen.
Element Position Top	Captures the distance of the element from the top of the screen view (pixels). Example: a value of `400` means the clicked element was 400px from the top of the view screen.

Example: if there is a unique attribute on your HTML elements used by your testing frame work such as `<a data-testid="feature-start">Start</a>` A property on the click exists such as `[Amplitude] Element Attributes.id` with a value of `feature-start`.
Element Aria Label	The `aria-label` of the element, used for interactive elements without visible text. These can further define your click events. Example: if the clicked event is `<button aria-label="Close" onclick="myDialog.close()"></button>` The value is `Close`.
