Javascript or HTML / DIVS to fix pagination issues?

[nicole.healthline]

Which is better to fix a pagination problem, javascript or HTML/DIVs? I know in one Google Webmaster Forum, a Google engineer recommends Javascript, but I've also seen people use DIVs.

Can you describe the exact issue you are trying to resolve?

So, if you have an article that  you want to divide into five parts for a better user experience, what is the best way to put all of the content on one url? divs and css or javascript?

JS could work in that case. Load your content into hidden divs and show each on demand. Spiders could still get the whole article while users see one part at a time. Just remember that there is an indexation cap (100k IIRC) so there are limits to how well this can work.

Is there a reason why JS is better than Divs/css or does it matter?
