    from that first link you submitted it appears to use javascript which would mask the links and render them uncrawlable.

    I've used similar code in websites of mine, and have had no problem with Google crawling the content. As long as you can actually see the content in the source code, then I don't think there will be a problem for Google or any other search engine to crawl the information.
