I just want to know because Goggle only indexed my homepage.
Choosing "View Source" is the way to tell whether the SE's can see it. If you write out text with Javascript, it won't show up in View Source. But text included via SSI, CGI, or PHP will show up.
The reason is that SSI, CGI, and PHP runs on the server, and assembles the page before sending it to the client (the browser or the SE). But Javascript doesn't happen on the server, that happens in the user's browser. So Javascript-written text doesn't get sent from the server, because it doesn't exist until *after* the browser gets the code for the page.
If that's confusing, then don't worry about it, and just know that the SE's can see everything fine except Javascript-generated text.
