My apologies. You meant RootsWeb's Freepages service which is a web-hosting service; I was thinking of Worldconnect. I don't see why you cannot upload JavaScript files to it - they are client-side, not server-side scripts, meaning they execute within the user's browser, not on the server.

You still can. No RootsWeb has their FreeWebs service you upload HTML files to. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ I use both that and their World Connect site that takes GEDCOM uploads. > In time, I daresay that search engines will be able to > crawl through your PO website whether hosted by RootsMagic or some other > service, especially if you make a link to it publicly available somewhere > on > the Internet.

I agree that in time Google and other search services will do a better job of searching javascript pages. It's in the mean time I worry about missing out on connections. I find for example that my html site on Free Webs comes up very high when I search for names of my ancestors. However my database on Wold Connect is much harder to find with a web search. Bruce did mention they were trying to come up with a way to fix the search options. Another thought the sites generated by TNG are also dynamic pages and I do find them coming up in web searches. So I think there would be a way to do this. :) Kim =================================== RM list Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/ROOTSMAGIC-USERS/ http://archiver.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/search?path=ROOTSMAGIC-USERS WISH LIST: http://www.rootsmagic.com/forums/ BLOG: http://blog.rootsmagic.com/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ROOTSMAGIC-USERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

No problem Tom. :) I was thinking last night about my concern about missing out in the search results. A temporary solution might be to make a report of the people in my database saved as a text or html file and upload that some where on the site.
