making JavaScript generated content possible for search engines to index

Question

Is there any way to make JavaScript generated content indexable by search engines? I remember reading something about Google parsing a generated site map, but I might be wrong here.

Answer 1

I also remember reading something similar when searching for a history plugin for jQuery. You might check out:

The explanation of hash links and actual href links sounds about right.

Answer 2

Mostly the search engine spiders do not render javascript so any content will not be seen.
