There probably isn't any indexing tool in existance that follows JavaScript
links, for the reason you noted. Realistically, it would take a full
JavaScript parser in order to be able to figure out all the possible
URLs that the code could generate, something that's way beyond the
means of any search engine. You have 3 options:
- Add "backup" links using plain HTML <a href=...> tags to all the pages
that could be accessed through JavaScript,
- Add <link> tags to point to all these pages (requires htdig 3.1.3 or
greater, but then EVERYONE should be running 3.1.5 anyway),
- Compose a list of all the unreachable documents, or write a program to
do so, and feed that list as part of htdig's start_url attribute.
We really need an FAQ entry for this question.
