No Script Tags solve any navigation issues?

How do spiders use the <NoScript>?

How would you rate this tag in terms of usefullness? I want SEs to index my entire site and, I have never really figured out if the spiders access the seperate JS doc on my other sites to crawl or, if they use the sitemap hyperlink. I know noscript is entended for those people who have diabled script, etc.,

Basically, do spiders follow links in between noscript tags; do they access seperate JS docs?

Thanks!

TomJones,

The majority will, just as they will follow any plain-HTML <a href > link.

> Do they access seperate JS docs?

No, not currently. Maybe some time in the future.

I suggest you disable your browser's Javascript, and go through your site yourself, making sure it works and looks OK. Use <noscript> primarily as a work-around for users who have JS disabled, and spiders will appreciate it, too.

Thanks, Jim!

I started my life with Dreamweaver so, I was using Flash buttons for quite awhile before I realized their limitations. Then, on to DHTML but, I figured the external js was hindering me, again. Glad I followed the valuable advice of putting a sitemap link on my sites some time ago. I'll keep doing that and, use the NoScript tag for additional kicks.

OK, figured out the Div problem. The header div was too big. Setting the main body (parent)div in px, then setting the header and text div to 100% solved the sizing problem.

Luvluvluv CSS. Still haven't figured the z-index thing,yet. yet....
