dropdown menus

[AffiliateDreamer]

currently i have text based links, if I switch to dropdown menus will this effect the ability of spiders to get the links or it makes no difference?

Depends on how you generate them, if you use pure JavaScript, where you have the options in an array, then the spiders won't see the text.

If you get the link text into the HTML and just have some sort of onclick/onmouseover event that's better at least the link text is in the HTML..

And even more nicely Pure CSS menus should work well for SE's because the HTML (linktext) is totally uncluttered.. (Note: They do require IE users to have JS swtched on, but the spiders still get it..

a JS/CSS Hybrid is the friendliest way IMHO
