Do you know if Google (or Bing etc.) will index content equally well when it is created via Javascript? I've seen an article by Google about making Ajax content crawlable; this page was about a year and a half old so it might not reflect the current situation. Has this issue been considered/addressed when developing this extension?
Thanks.

Hello Tom,
As Google explain in their blog: developers.google.com/webmasters they are continuously working to make Googlebot behave more like a browser.
The Google crawling bot is currently executing JavaScript code on the pages, if the scripts do NOT require any user's interaction like click etc..

Thanks Teodor,
I appreciate Googlebot is much more sophisticated than it was and can, at least to some extent, run Javascript. I was wondering about comments such as:
>The first step to getting your AJAX site indexed is to indicate to the crawler that your site supports the AJAX crawling scheme.<
here:
https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/getting-started

I'm not sure how relevant this. Perhaps it's just up to developers and I should study it a little more, but it is a concern.

Tom, Thanks for bringing this topic up and to Tredor for replying. I'm looking forward to using the database connector soon and will be interested in how it looks in google webmasters tools' "fetch as googlebot" which is indeed the the google revealer for what google sees.

Hello Tom, Stepanie,

We are aware of the information Google provide in this article, and currently we are discussing with our team which is the best method to be used with the HTML5 Data Bindings so that your website is fully optimized for search engines.
As soon as we decide which is the best way to do this, you will get it integrated into HTML5 Data Bindings!
