http://www.webmasterworld.com/google/4159807.htm is a thread I've found online which speaks to something I learned a few months ago: Google is now using a JavaScript engine in its crawler.
I remember attending Product Camp Austin 20 months ago and being specifically instructed not to use JavaScript in navigation menus as such will confuse the Googlebot. Stuff unhidden to a user by JavaScript would never get unhidden to the Googlebot. This meant that your web site shouldn't have jQuery-driven drop down menus for example. Well, you may forget all that now and embrace drop down menus anew it seems! JavaScript and SEO now jive together.
