Question

My question is whether googlebot can track pages redirected through javascript onchange function:

Example:

<select id="bla">
    <option value="1">page1</option>
    <option value="2">page2</option>
</select>

<script type="text/javascript">
      document.getElementById("bla").onchange = function() { // code to redirect }
</script>

Now, will googlebot be redirected to page2 or page1?

Answer 1

According to the documentation they “may not”:

“When Googlebot indexes a page containing JavaScript, it will index that page but it may not follow or index any links hidden in the JavaScript itself.”
