: Will text that appears dynamically (via javascript/jquery) be indexed by search engines? Possible Duplicate: Does the Google spider render JavaScript? I'm writing an article that is

Does the Google spider render JavaScript?
I'm writing an article that is broken up into sections, where the content of each section is hidden unless the user expands that section.
To be more concrete, this is what I am talking about: jqueryui.com/accordion/#collapsible.
In that example, the text for "Section 1" is visible whereas the text for all of the other sections do not appear.
My question is, will the text contained in those other sections be accessible to search engines?

It is no longer strictly true that robots does not process scripts (at least Googlebot does, and Google is what matters).
Google has put online a document telling you what you need to do to make your AJAX application crawlable.
To be crawled, the crawler needs to find a "pretty AJAX URL" (that is, a URL containing a #! hash fragment). It then requests the content for this URL from your server in a slightly modified form. Your web server returns the content in the form of an HTML snapshot, which is then processed by the crawler.
If the content is post-processed by a javascript script, the contents are not visible to search engines.
Basically because the robot or spiders is not capable of processing the scripts and this will lower the quality of indexing your web content.
But, I tested your plugin it seems that the content is available in both live mode to read-spider mode
