Google Images

My programer placed this bit of script on a number of pages and now the images on those pages are no longer indexed by google- although the pages themselves are- Any ideas as to why- I thought it might be obvious for somebody with more programming background. Thanks

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function clearText(thefield){
if (thefield.defaultValue==thefield.value)
thefield.value = ""
}

function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a)&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
}

function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
if (a.indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a;}}
}

function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers.document);
if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
}

function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0
var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)
if ((x=MM_findObj(a))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];}
}

i think it's a bh script

 

do you think it would effect the indexing of images? Whats a bh script anyways?

 

Why on earth would you think that?

bh stands for black hat, which this isn't. It's an image swapping script using Javascript. That particular block is signature code for Dreamweaver, if I'm not mistaken.

If the only way to access the images is through Javascript then they will indeed get deindexed. Where the images would normally go you could also place <img> tags pointing to them, and wrap those tags in <noscript> blocks. That should help.
