Take out your JavaScript and view the source of your page. If you can read the content that you want indexed then so can the search engines. (And likewise, from an accessibility point of view, your page should still be at least readable to those users who do not have JavaScript enabled.)
Search engines generally do not run JavaScript. So, if you have content that is generated entirely by JS, then the SE's are unlikely to see it.

If you do your pop ups like this, where newWin is the Javascript function,
<a href="my-supplemental-data.html" onclick="return newWin('my-supplemental-data.html');">Help</a>
Yes.
If you do them like this,
<a href="#" onclick="return newWin('my-supplemental-data.html');">Help</a>
or <ulp> this,
<a href="javascript:newWin('my-supplemental-data.html');">Help</a>
No.

That rule doesn't apply with Google anymore, they process AJAX and a whole bunch more.

That's html. It will be read.

Um, I said they DO run javascript, at least Google appears to be. The other SEs I'm not so sure about.
CSS is just HTML, it will be read.
Javascript pop-ups less likely but not impossible.

I was speaking generally. As incrediBILL suggests, it is true that Google can read some JavaScript these days. In fact I have recently seen a video of Matt Cutts where he says just that and advises developers to allow the googlebot to spider their JS and CSS files (ie. do not block in robots.txt).
TBH, in your case, it shouldn't matter whether the search engine is able to read JavaScript or not - if implemented correctly. If you are using JS, then you should be using JS to hide the unseen content in the first place.
