Not sure that would work for too much JavaScript.  Search engines are in a
hurry to index information and are programmed to only go so far down before
they quit looking for relevant content.  This is a necessary fact of life,
they can't afford to spend several seconds looking at each web page - there
are hundreds of millions of pages out there waiting to be spidered.

JavaScript needs to be very short or not placed on vital pages.  I use it a
lot, but mostly on shopping cart pages to ensure the customer selects sizes,
colors etc.
