Does Activity Map track input type="button"?

Question

One of our site owners is not getting Activity Map data for a dropdown menu. The code for this is:

Which seems to be valid per this line from Adobe's docs:

"Is this an INPUT tag or SUBMIT button with a value or child text?"

It *is* an input tag and has a value. The other part of this is that we have some JS that listens for the click on the input to perform the action. But again, Adobe's docs seem to say that Activity Map should be capturing the clicks.

Any ideas about what might be happening here? Do I have it wrong and Activity Map doesn't capture clicks on an input type="button"?

Hmm, that's a bummer. You could try customising Activity Map's implementation (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/analytics/analyze/activity-map/link-tracking/activitymap-link-tracking-use-case.html?lang=en) or using s.tl() (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/analytics/analyze/activity-map/link-tracking/activitymap-stl-track-custom-elements.html?lang=en) with those INPUTs.

Your understanding of Activity Map is correct. It does detect clicks on INPUTs.

But you also mentioned that there's a JS script that listens for clicks on the INPUTs. That script might be interfering with Activity Map's detection, e.g. if your script uses "preventDefault()".
