Structuring the web pages' content or schema properly is important for SEO. I would like to know if popular web crawlers or bots (Google bot, Bingbot etc...) are able to simulate user behavior and index the pages accordingly.

For example, if I have a navigation menu with hidden sub menus which will be visible only when a user does something (such as mouseover) on a main menu item. Will a bot do the same? Will those sub menu items or hidden links be indexed or is it just enough to have those links included in sitemap.xml?

I also want to know if crawlers wait for document.ready or window.load.

Please enlighten me.

Most good search engine crawlers (i.e. Googlebot) can process JavaScript, JQuery, etc. and render websites just like a user sees them. These crawlers will be able to crawl your menu and sub-menu items. Use best practices, though, so as not to run into cloaking problems such as using "hidden" tags.
