Author Java script and search engines

I was recently told that Java script is not searchable by Google and other
search engines.

Is this true or false?

True in the sense that content written to the page via javascript won't be
indexed and links won't be followed. That said search engines do look for
javascript on the page and will take account of it so if for example you
wanted to use javascript to show different content to search engines than
users that will be detected and penalised.

Cheers,
Jon

OK here is part of the code, one person tells me it is not searchable and
another says it is?

Hi Bonnie,

It's not searchable - as far as the search engines are concerned that code
doesn't exist.

Cheers,
Jon
