Are links produced by external Javascript ignored by search engines?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here so I hope it's in a relevant place. I have searched for the answer and i'm sure it's out there somewhere but i'm having trouble finding it so here goes:

(I am omitting the hows and whys for now but can provide these if necessary :)

On Website A I have a Javascipt file to output some HTML using the document.write() function. In this HTML is a link to Website A.

When Website B links to this Javascript file in the <body> tags of a page the HTML is output. So on Website B there is now a link to Website A. This works a treat.

I am wondering if this link will get picked up by the search engines and count as an incoming link from Website B to A or get ignored (perhaps because it is not visible in the source Website B's page, or the link is genrated by a script residing on Website A.

Any ideas? Many thanks .
