I have a script I would like to add to my site that updates info automatically. I understand that search engines can't "see" javascript, and won't know that the page has fresh content. Is there a way to "change" a script so that the search engines "see it"? Thank you.

Hmm... I'm a little confused as to why you would want the SEs to see your javascript. Any "updated content" would undoubtedly be within your HTML, correct? It matters not that the content got there by following a script.

It is my understanding that SEs like Google simply go to sleep once they see <script>, and wake up again once they see </script>... so in my novice opinion, there is no way to do it.
