Tried to search for this,but couldn't find a direct answer. I am optimizing a site that was designed heavily with CSS. I am investigating if I should redo their navigation bar. The nav bar is designed using LI elements, but the text in the LI element is overridden with a style element.
E.G. <li id="#homenav">The home page</li> is replaced by the CSS with an image. So the browser and spider are effectively shown two different things. To me this seems like spam.
I've seen this done in other spots on the site which I know needs to be changed (H1's being replaced with images). However it seems that the CSS LI driven nav is becoming more common for (SEO-less) designers to use.
Thanks a bunch and have a good holidays.

Does it link to the same place after having contents rewritten via dhtml? If so, there's no SE spam going on and you don't need to be concerned.

I am very happy to find people talking about LI!
I am wondering if I can change <li id="link_1"> from saying link_1 into something that is a more targeted keyword for me. Does the link_1 mean something in CSS or was my designer just not SEO friendly? The internet is amazing, I cant believe I actually found other people talking about li id! Will this thing auto tell me when someone posts a response? I am new to this forum, please email me adamkrusestl @ gmail . com

yes, the ID does mean something. You can name the ID's anything you want, but the corresponding ID must be in your CSS.
Your developer knew what he was doing. He named them appropriately for organizational purposes.
but its not worth changing, the SE's won't see your keyword in the tag.

CSS controlled LI navigation is one of the most search-engine friendly navigation methods around.
There is just one danger. Some people use the CSS to "hide" all sub-menus other than for the current section, but they are still there in the HTML source code for bots to see. That means that, in effect, every page of the site links to every page of the site, and many of those links are technically "hidden".
I use a similar method, but use PHP includes to only include links that are relevant from where you are now. This avoids the problem.
