Hi Raven,

Hope you are well - not overworking. Smile

Sorry to add to the questions, but ive got a problem.

1. Am I correct in saying that Javascript is not indexed by search engines.
2. If so - is statement correct " a menu block written in javascript is a bad idea" (urls not indexed).
3. Im quiet attached to my multi-layered drop down menu block - is there a way to adapt the menu to print the urls in the index generation - ergo make them indexable by search engines?
4. Is there another way to have a mulitlayered drop down menu that is compatible with all browsers - that can be indexed by search engines?

Although I have not found a way to rewrite the javascript embedded urls to a search engine friendly format i have found a simple solution.

As far as im aware ANY invisible text written in cascading sytle sheets can be used in large amounts without being penalized for it by search engines. So if I use a javascript dropdown menu but then list all the urls as follows

<DIV
STYLE="position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;
width:100%;display:none;z-index:1">
***** YOUR TEXT GOES HERE ****
</DIV>

along with any other invisible text it should be ok.

Id be interested in what everyone thinks?
