Javascript before sending headers?

[anakadote]

I've tried output buffering to no avail. I'm trying to have a page that has Google tracking code at the top that fires before headers force a document download. No matter what I try, it seems that nothing is even echoed if I have the header output anywhere on the page. Ideas/suggestions?

Ex:

<script type="text/javascript">// JS here</script>
<?php
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
etc...
?>

Yeah - don't do it. :p

You can't have HTML code on a page that's also used to send a file attachment. That's two different documents/pages you're trying to cram into one HTTP transaction.

If you want the JS code, then output a "splash" page of sorts in between that contains the code and then redirects the user to another script that actually sends the file (after a second or so).

Thank you.
