Will google and other bots see display: none; ?

I have a project in which a DIV needs to be hidden from search engines and other spiders. Initially, the DIV is hidden using the CSS “display: none;”. When a user clicks a graphic, it is changed to “display: block;”

Will search engines see the contents of this DIV or will it ignore it? Do I need to generate the contents of the DIV dynamically using JS when the user clicks the graphic so google won’t see it?

@sameer_net_inSep 13.2006 — search engine dont generally see display none.

for better implementation put display:none in external css file.

also dont put the div content in javascript,

search engines dont read java scripts.

what i suggest is dont stuff tags with keywords,

search engines record tags upto certain length, so put most important keywords at start.

rather stuff your page with content

@dotancohenOct 13.2006 — Is your goal to have google read the content, or to hide the content from google? Do you care about other search engines, such as MSN or Yahoo?
