Does google see links in javascript?

Hi,
Does google "see" links in javascript blogrolls? Like blogrolling? How about the other search engines?

do a view source in your browser and that is Gbot will see.

yes, google bot does "understand" JavaScript

I use lynx to check a web page for seo friendly links. I think to "view source" to check for links that the browser would have to have javascript disabled.

I read somewhere that Google is reading javascript looking for underhandedness but had not heard that javascript links were good for seo or site navigation.

I use <noscript> for css / drop down menu's to insert links for non-javascript enabled browsers and spiders.

I have seen in other forums that ,Google not follow links in javascript drop down . for other I have no idea and big seo guys told it not good seo to put javascripts for liking in your site navigation.

Google read all codes written... G spiders it.. so that is why we do it by putting it as separate files to make our codings neat and SE friendly...
