SEO for Javascripts, Sliders

    I was wondering what the current stance of search engines is for Javascripts Sliders. Sliders and carousels are quite trendy from web design point of view, but what is their SEO effect?

    Thanks,

    When you view the source of the site, are you able to see the "content" that is perhaps hidden by javascript? In that case don't worry, search engines see it too..

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by sliders and carousels but Google is claiming that they are now parsing and reading Java as long as it is on page (ie. not referenced via an external Java file).

    No matter - I haven't even bothered to experiment with this yet. I'll wait until I hear that Google has gotten GOOD at indexing java and the other search engines do so too!
