Stylized Javascript Menu - Possible Deception?

Restricting spiderable content using stylized menu

On our home page, we have a javascript driven portfolio sampler that randomly selects three projects from our portfolio and displays them on our front page. We control which ones we want to randomly display.

In the random generated portfolio teaser, we give the name of the client, the type of website it was, a list of technologies used, a small image of the site with a link to the actual portfolio page for more information, and are using css to stylize the look and feel of the portfolio sampler.

When you view the source code of the home page, none of this information is visable in the html code because we are inserting it in via javascript.

To me, this seems to be no more than an expansion on a stylized javascript driven menu. Could this be perceived as showing different content to a human visitor than what is shown to a spider?
