Apologies if you already answered that question tens of times but I can’t find exactly the answer I am looking for.
I have several div in my html, some of which are hidden by default. Their appearance and disappearance is done via a javascript function style=”display:none;”.
The hidden content is a list of links to navigate my site. Even though these links are useful to my users, and are hidden in order to maximize the space on the page, some could argue that it’s also an attempt to develop my linking structure for SEO purposes. They actually would not be completely wrong.
So here is my question, could that be considered as spamdexing and result in the contrary of what I want to achieve, ranking properly in the all mighty engines?
thanks for your advice,

There is nothing wrong with your implementation, many utilize that for tree style menus.

This is something that would need to be manually checked, it won't occur through any type of filter that I'm aware of. And in your case, it is a usability feature. I wouldn't worry one bit about your implementation of display:none and/or display:hidden.
As you know Google started indexing CSS file. A using disple:none in my page. Is there any problem in ranking. 2 weeks before my site was in 3rd page of Google now it's 8th page.
Any body suggest me what can i do?
