HTML Script to call Google Analytics Event Tracking when email address is clicked

I have a website that tracks when a user has clicked away from the site. This is tracked through google Analytics, Here is the code: <script type="text/javascript"> $( document ).ready(function() { var current_url = $(this).attr('href'); c=document.location.protocol+'//'+document.location.host+'/'; $( document ).on( "click", "[login to view URL]", function() { [login to view URL](['_trackEvent', 'ExitLinks', 'Click', [login to view URL]]); return confirm('You are now leaving the LAP-BAND(tm) System Website'); }); }); </script> And the links look like this: <p><a class="external" href="[login to view URL]" target="_blank">[login to view URL]</a></p> Here is an example online: [login to view URL] When someone clicks on the link, it generates a pop-up and if they click through, it creates an event in google anaytics [login to view URL](['_trackEvent', 'ExitLinks', 'Click', [login to view URL]]); I would like to create the same event (without the pop-up) when someone clicks on an email address on the page. Please note that this is a joomla website. Thanks
