    Yes, it does, but the results can be unexpected sometimes. For example, it can show it in the results as a different page than this one where you placed an iframe.

    so that means it will link to the iframe page and not mine?

    Google crawls iframes, but the content in an iframe is seen as a different page.

    I would really recommend not using iframes, if you can help it. For the reasons mentioned above, plus security concerns, they really are not a good technology to use.

    so this means that google will understand that the content is not on my domain right?

    Security? Why?
    I'm using both: iframes and Java.
    But I don't know about crawling Java content...

    Does google read the text in .js files?

    does google have anything against iframes? since it can be
    looked at as cloaking in some sense
