I have site that works fine but when i put it through Google translate my button that initiates a javascript function doesn't work.

However, some other Javascript calls via links work. Whats wrong?

Example translation

Thank you for any help.

Update

The sister site is even worse, the whole left side goes white?? Wait for it to fully load.

I think it's because when you use Google Translate, you're actually getting the page from Google's domain not your own. Your page then tries to make an AJAX request to your domain, which is now cross-domain, therefore blocked for security.

In order to avoid the translation of elements which should execute JavaScript you can give them a class of notranslate: class=”notranslate”. That should let google ignore these elements.

Could be any number of things I would have thought.

Could be that Google changes the DOM on the page that break the way your script interacts with it. Are there any JavaScript errors on the page?
