Can someone tell me what is wrong with this line of code?

I have always struggled with creating event tracking codes for Google Analytics. Can someone tell me what is wrong with this line of code? I removed the URL and the titles from this code

Thanks!

<a title="title has been removed" href="http://website.com" onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','local', 'clickevent', 'clickedlink' );">
Martin Reed: Should work if you're using classic Analytics (ga.js). Open up the console (in Chrome/FF, right click on the page and select Inspect Element) and see if there are any errors when you click on the link.
Gregory Kristan: +Martin Reed ;awesome, I never knew you could do this! I will check that out later tonight when I get home! :)
