      If a page element (div, e.g.) is initially hidden and shown only by a hover descriptor or Javascript call, will Google crawl and index it’s content?

        Hi,

        If you have access to GWT for the domain you could use the 'Fetch as Googlebot' tool and check out the how it fetches the page and data it downloads.

        Hope this helps!

          • Should you use robots.txt for pages within your site which do not have high quality content or are not contributing a great deal so when Google crawls your site the best performing content has a higher chance of being indexed?
