The code Google asks you to insert in a web page to enable Google Analytics looks like this:

code:

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct="UA-xxxx-x";
urchinTracker();
</script>

Is it possible to condense this code into something less redundant (i.e., in a single tag instead of in two tags):

code:

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
_uacct="UA-xxxx-x";
urchinTracker();
</script>

and also, could one change the type to "text/ecmascript" and have it still work?

I don't think so. If the tag specifies an external file with 'src' then I think the content of the tag is ignored. This is speculation though, try it with a simple test case (alert() is your friend) and see what happens in various browsers.

Why do you want to change the type? If you do so you're likely to just cause problems with browsers not handling text/ecmascript.
