Hi,

Hope I can ask this type of question here, and even more so that someone can give me an answer.

I'm currently designing a site and would like to use DHTML style navigation with my links to my sub pages in the DHTML. Does anyone know if Google will follow/be able to read these? Any help would be more than appreciated. :)

Welcome to WebmasterWorld kurky,
Don't forget to check out paynts welcome post [webmasterworld.com].

Are you using <span> or <div> tags to position your elements on your html page? If there are <a href=""> tags on the page being spidered Googlebot will follow. If you are importing the links with .js or using a window method then you probably won't get a good spider. If this is the case then I suggest a normal link on the page that takes users to a site map. This can also help people with javascript turned off.
