google spidering javascript problem

[John Bentley]

Hi



I have a few sites that i have put a javascript news ticker on [url]http://www.bookbutlinsonline.co.uk/[/url]



Google does not seem to spider the scroller messages as they are contained within the javascript, is this correct?



Does anyone know a workaround or alternative scroller that will get spidered?



Regards

Yes - as far as I know, no spider will see that content. This is one of the
reasons why all-javascript menus are so troublesome.

A scroller where the text is kept in a plain HTML container should work for
you.
