Event Tracking for Newsletter Sign Up

I want to track how many people sign up for Newsletters. I can do it with event tracking in Google Analytics. But there is an issue. I found the below code on the button 

<form name="ccoptin" action="http://visitor.r20.constantcontact.com/d.jsp" target="_blank" method="post" onsubmit="return SubscribeValidate()">

Then where I have to place the following code 

onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'newsletter signup', 'email', 'Sidebar',, false]);"

onClick is tracking for buttons. For forms, add the code into a successful "validate" function and/or on the "thank you" page.

var SubscribeValidate = function () {
  // Make sure the form is filled out
  if ($("#email").text() != "") {
    return false;
  }

  // Track in Google Analytics
  _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'newsletter signup', 'email', 'Sidebar', , false]);

  window.location = "/thanks"; // or $("#modal").modal();
}
