title: can google crawl javascript generated links?
body: <p>I know that this question has been asked many times ( but in different varuations), but I got totally confused...</p>
  
  <p>I have a website with a right panel displaying some content - a set of links to news/inner articles.
  This is the same list for all site's pages.
  Thus, every time there is a new link/line in th news section, I have to go manually over all site's pages and update them. This is really annoying and time consuming.</p>
  
  <p>The approach I though about is:</p>
  
  <p>Adding a div where the news/link are supposed to be:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class"news"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and load a JS file in all files. Upon <code>window.onload()</code>, what the JS will do is writing the news:</p>
  
  <pre><code>document.getElementByID('news').innerHTML=....
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thus, every time there is a new link/news, I will add it to the JS file, and it will be written in all site's pages ( because they all will load this script).</p>
  
  <p>My Question is:
  Is this approach ok? Will the news/links that are generated this way be seen by (Goggle)?</p>
  
  <p>P.S
  I have read many articles e.g

  <p>and more.... But got really confused...
  I am not using any AJAX or server side programming.
  Just want to do a simple <code>.innerHTML ="..."</code> with a predefined list of news, to save a lot of time. Will this content be indexed and seen by google?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot!</p>
