Today I read an article on seo. It stated that searchengines have great difficulty with finding/indexing sites with JavaScript navigation[/unavigation]. It also recommended to use CSS instead, if you want to create nice menues. I would very much appreciate opinions/recommendations from experienced DW-users regarding these two issues.
Also, tips on how to built these nice navigationbuttons with css are very much appreciated! (With css I am an absolute beginner)

The issue isn't javascript menus in general, but the menus that embed the
actual URLs into the javascript.

What kind of menu are we talking about? If it's a flat, static menu, then
CSS is great. You can even do rollover effects with it.

If you need fly-out menus, then CSS + Javascript is typically the best
option. Project VII has several to choose from that are quite nice.
