Hi there seem to be many articles about this.

Apparently google can't see the text that you put within a spry
structure in your dreamweaver site
as it uses Java.

However, I also emailed a company who sell these spry ajax demo
template examples and they said that the text you put in there (eg
accordion effect) can be seen by google.

So which is it guys, it would be great to straighten this out once and
for all as many people I have asked have said different things.

Thankyou,

JHT

why would you want to take the risk?
the point is the same as for flash: sure, Google can read the text in flash. but no, this will NOT help you to get a good ranking.
 
If you really want your content to be correctly indexed, it MUST be within html. Period.
This means:
- content generated by php or asp ON THE SERVER, and which translates as html ON THE CLIENT is fine
- content generated by javascript or Flash ON THE CLIENT is NOT fine
 
- content generated by jsp ON THE SEVER which tranlates as html on the client is fine
- content generated by java running on the client is NOT fine.
