Have a client site that has flash navigation, frames, and dynamic URL's (the unholy trinity)

Working with the developers, one suggestion has been to put the following into the frameset source.

What do you guys think, will the below allow spiders to crawl the site? Thanks in advance.

<script language="JavaScript">

var paths = new Array();

paths['1'] = 'http://www.myURL.com/main/view.jsp?branch=3912827&dom=193003';
paths['akranes'] = 'http://www.myURL.com/main/view.jsp?branch=3580666&dom=193003';
paths['amsterdamdaytours'] = 'http://www.myURL.com/main/view.jsp?branch=3586995&dom=193003';
paths['copenhagendaytours'] = 'http://www.myURL.com/main/view.jsp?branch=3584445&dom=193003';
function getURL() {

var destination = location.protocol + "//" + location.host;
// determine the path:
var url = location.href;
url = url.replace(destination+"/",""wink;
url = url.replace(location.search,""wink;
var path = paths[url];

if ( typeof path == 'undefined' ) {
path = "/files/errorpages/error404Page3255136.html";
} else {
if ( location.search != null ) {
if ( path.indexOf("?"wink != -1 ) {
path += "&" + location.search.replace("?",""wink;
} else {

path += location.search;
}
}
}
return path;
}
</script>

I don't know much about frames, but i do know that Google can't read js.

Umm, this looks like a kludge that will bloat your code, and not fix any of the root problems at all.


I would look at a site redesign. If you have access to PHP then you can do some nifty server-side "includes" that completely do away with anything to do with frames, and that will make the site much more SE friendly too.

I am not very sure about this but I think that if you put a lot of content on <noframes> tags then it will do the trick. I have seen that for in some escort website. Dont remember the URL though @_@

I'd really recommend a text link to a text-based site map for the spiders to have something to grasp for sure.
