Do Javascript links get counted and increase rankings like other links?

    If i use the following code in my site...

    <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="http://www.mysite.com/myfile.js">

    and then the following in the javascript file i point to...

    document.writeln('<a href="http://www.theirsite.com">keyword</a>')

    Will this link count like any other or are there downsides to it etc?

    thanks in advance!

    Search engines spiders have some issues reading JAVA Script, I don't think the spiders will be able to read it or even if they are able of crawling it I'd recommend to use html if you are doing it to build links.

    I'm pretty sure search engines follow them but i dont know if they value them?

    Either way, is there an easy way to give somebody a small snippet of code instead of a massive mess of HTML? Like, a way to shorten HTML code but where the links are still valued.
