Hello all,

I would like to known if search engine are able to follow links embedded in javascript code, such as "option value="link" or "window.open='link'".

Any help would be much appreciated

Hi juventus,

To my little knowledge, no. Most robots cannot follow those links, because they cannot read JavaScript. A good way around this is to submit a HTML "site map" with "noindex,follow" in the robots meta tag. Or to link this site map to your home page.
