Are DHTML Tooltips SE Bots safe?

i.e.: A link with a onClick JavaScript Event that moves and write into a hidden layer that becomes visible.

Do you think it is a good idea? I'm thinking of using this method as quick glossaries to explain industry-related terms to customers on a webpage.

Thanks!

This is starting to becoming a good help technique. I don't really see a big issue. If you got a hand review then SEs could see you were using it for the user and not stuffing.

Since it's JavaScript, can SE read it? (yet?)

Thanks.

I haven't implemented it yet but I assume I will have a hidden empty DIV which a JS function will move it to the clicked link location. The JS will populate the DIV with its description.

(I would show an example...do I have the right to put links on this forum? It's not a personal site, example from a big corporation)
