Frames or CSS best for SE's?

[danlott]

hi all,
a client wants the main body of text to scroll. would using css overlow property set to scroll be the best solution for search engine spiders? I think i'm right in saying that SEs will also follow iFrames, but not so good with frames.

Hi,

SE's do not like frames, you know that of course. The CSS equivalent is very much ok though: Search Engines do not interpret on screen visuals, they just parse the tags so a <div> with scroll on it is just a <div> to anything but a graphical browser.

hi Nick,
so i'm guessing iFrames are ok becuase the SE will follow the 'src' attribute?
