Can anyone help / advise?

Do search engines - Google - index Javascipt seperate pages in a
different way to static HTML pages?

I am doing some work on a site
which features quite a few Javascript pages instead of
static HTML and need to assess if it would be better
to advise changing the Javascript pages to static HTML.

Thanks

Hi Jeremy,

As long as your content is not enclosed in the JavaScript code, this will not prevent the search engines from indexing your site.

A majority of JS based navigation systems are not search engine friendly however, so you should be careful when choosing such a menu. The spiders will not actually execute your JavaScript code to index it, therefore it is important that you site is usable without JS turned-on.

I'd recommend placing the code in a separate .js file rather then in the HTML file as well. You can test how your site works without JavaScript by turning Java/JavaScript off in your browser settings and then visiting your site.

:cool:
