Hi,
From html page, if I call <script> foo() </script> for some purpose ..say for common header across pages, will search engine crawler evaluate those links/content that is coming as a part of the call javascript call from .js file...and consider as a content of the page?

hi thu_household and welcome to WebmasterWorld.

At present search engines do not follow javascript links so I am pretty sure that they won't be able to 'see' the links created from your js function call.

Why not use server side includes (SSI) to 'call' the navigation file. That way the two files are merged on the server before being served to the visitor / spider and they will appear as one.
