    Hi,

    I was wondering what the implications of having a CSS menu instead of final text menu was? Can Google still read what the menu items are and will it be dine in terms of SEO?

    Thanks,

    Mischa

    if the css menu have text in the page spider can definitely read them. From my understanding of CSS it is just kind of object oriented programming. It makes webmaster's jobs much much easier.

    Turn off the CSS/Javascript in your browser and go look at your website. What you see is how Google sees your site.

    CSS is just markup. It changes how the end user sees the page, but the source code for the menu should be more or less the same as straight links, so Google should index the links without any trouble.
