    I have a Band of Brothers FAQ, here: http://www.younghistorians.com/faq

    If you go into the FAQ, ive hidden the answers to the questions using a dhtml widget. Can Google still spider/read the answers [that are hidden]?

    Thanks!

    Do you mean what happens if you search Google for "who shoots Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense" ?

    I thought google documented all contents of each html file it indexes. This would include your dhtml widgets you inserted in your page, which appear as this under the page source:

    <div id="sc1" class="switchcontent">
    To quote the HBO website, "This groundbreaking, 10-part miniseries tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. Starting with their rigorous training in Georgia in 1942, it recounts the achievements of the elite rifle company, which parachuted into France early on D-Day morning, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and captured Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden."
    </div>

    Those divisions will be indexed.

    I use the same script for a nav menu and as an experiment to see if google would follow links in the hidden part. It took a while but as of today google indexed about 50 pages that were not linked to anywhere else http://www.dvdwebzone.com/php/compare.php/
