They are completely different pieces of data that have their own specific JavaScript.. @ Alessio: I’m not sure what you are asking, but you can use both custom variables and events on the same site.

When your homepage loads you'll need to dynamically choose a value for the custom var using JavaScript (or server side code) and then add that the custom var code. @Stephen: You can pass any value you want into a custom variable.

Can a dynamic value be set within the CV? For example, the homepage for the site changes on a daily basis. I would like to still view the homepage within my analytics as a pageview but then be able to see the data for each different version of the page. I believe the best way to do this is pass a dynamic value into the custom variable. It is kind of similar to tracking different categories except it would be different versions of the same page. Do you know of any examples of something similar? I am looking to use a custom variable at the pageview level to view how traffic behaves to a dynamic homepage.
