Links not spidered

Hi,

I recently installed a corporate search engine on our web server.
This search engine doesn't want to spider the links in the Milonic navigation bars...
This is the reply I received from the support staff that made the search engine:

------------------------

You can add a href without a tag for each JavaScript link
(recommended)
For example, instead of just generating this:

<a href="javascript:MM_openBrWindow('work_aids/admin_depar.htm','','toolbar
=no,location=,yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=675,height=405,resiza
ble=yes')">

....you would generate these two href:
<a href="javascript:MM_openBrWindow(' work_aids/admin_depar.htm ','','toolbar=no,location=,yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=675,heig
ht=405,resizable=yes')">
<a href="work_aids/admin_depar.htm"/>

....the second one isn't visible to users since it has no label, but CES sees it and follows it.

------------------------

Is there anything else that can be done to get around the problem, other than what they suggested?

Thanks.

Try putting together a text-only "menu system" (just simple links), and place the whole thing between <noscript></noscript> tags.

Another good possibility is our site index at http://support.milonic.com/demos/site_index/index.htm.
