Hidden Div Tag

drixie · 02-16-2008, 04:32 PM

I want to integrate the CSS+javascript trick on this page into my site: stunicholls.com/various/more_again.html

Just click the red plus image.

But I want to know if this is not the hidden div tags that google doesnt like.

Any help will be appreciated.

Nice trick - I have 6 meg download and you managed to hide the whole page for 30 seconds

I dont understand what you mean.

You mean the Javascript code that Google sometimes ignores?

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, I gave up trying to load that link.

I dont know why the link is not loadin gon your side. Its loading fine here.

I think I'll have to give a slight description:

On that page (belongs to stu nicholls of cssplay), There is some text and below the text, there is a plus button. When this button is clicked on, an extra text is displayed (in a div tag with position:absolute).

I checked the css and the javascript. The second div tag(with its contents) has always been there all along and is initially given a display:none value. Then, when the plus button is clicked, Javascript gives it display:absolute and it shows up.

I want to implement this on my website but I'm not it could be the hidden div tags page and brin dont like.

The zip file I downloaded from the page is attached. All the code and images are contained within. I hope it opens in your browser that way.

Humbly expecting your reply. I'm three days behind schedule.

Code:

http://www.stunicholls.com/various/more_again/switch.css

Check out the hidden class over there. Yes it uses hidden divs, but hey, if you want cool features on the site, this is the only way.

Thanks for your reply.

If I use that method, what is the chance that I will get penalized by google?

Also, what I want to do simply is to provide a 'Watch Video' button on the site which when users click will open a div tag containing embedded video (from any videosharing site) and play it.

I just dont want the videos to open straight like that. I just want only the users who want to watch the video be able to watch it, not everybody.

Is there any other way I can go about this?

does Google sometimes do not ignore Jscripts? What I know is that SEs doesn't read Jscripts at all...

webia · 02-18-2008, 04:22 PM

Anyway, the solution in that site is all css

drixie · 02-19-2008, 12:01 PM

I dont think SEs read Jscript. Its a bunch of code.

I really hope i get help. I'm five days behind schedule.

Like I said. They use CSS to accomplish that. And yes, search engines do no read javascripts, so if you have content generated via js scripts, it will not be there.

js are client based, while search engines see what the server generates on it's side of the task.
