      1.       When I disable java-script in Firefox and load our home page, it is missing entire middle section.

      2.       Also, the global nav dropdown menu does not display at all. (with java-script disabled)    I believe this is not good.

      3.       But when type in  <website name="">in Google search and click on  the cached version of home page > and then click on text only version, It displays the Global nav links fine.</website>

      4.       When I switch the user agent to Googlebot(using Firefox plugin "User Agent Swticher)), the home page and global nav displays fine.

      Should I be worried about#1 and  #2 then?

      How to find what Googlebot actually sees on a page?

      (I have tried "Fetch as Googlebot" from GWT. It displays source code.)

      Thanks for the help!

      Supriya.
