Well... They skip all <!-- -->'s, so they skip <script><!-- //--></script>'s.

And you *know* this how? They may well skip comments in terms of what content actually gets indexed, but I would expect their indexer is smart enough to parse HTML comments in a script block as though it were not in an HTML comment because that's what a browser does. What they actually do with that content - execute it, or just analyze it, or whatever - we don't know. You can't make sweeping statements like that unless you can back it up with at least one reference, preferably official. -Stut

Actually... You don't know for sure that Google isn't using Perl's javascript interpreter. Unless you work for Google, have just told us something they would consider double-secret proprietary, and are about to get fired. :-) :-) :-) It would not be Rocket Science for a search engine to execute the javascript on a page in a sandbox, to analyze it for abuses, viruses, and other things they wanted to take away "points" for. I know I could almost manage that with a ton of work. And I figure the Google engineers are probably a heck of a lot smarter than I am, and for sure they are way more experienced. So I'm going to assume that any "dodge" in JS I could come up with to game their system, will be detected and defeated as soon as they want to bother doing that. But, hey, feel free to get Google to issue a statement that they do not now nor ever will check the JS on sites as they index them, and point to it as a reference. :-) -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
