Will google and other bots see display: none; ?

[MicahCarrick]

I have a project in which a DIV needs to be hidden from search engines and other spiders. Initially, the DIV is hidden using the CSS "display: none;". When a user clicks a graphic, it is changed to "display: block;"

Will search engines see the contents of this DIV or will it ignore it? Do I need to generate the contents of the DIV dynamically using JS when the user clicks the graphic so google won't see it?

search engine dont generally see display none.
for better implementation put display:none in external css file.
also dont put the div content in javascript,
search engines dont read java scripts.

what i suggest is dont stuff tags with keywords,
search engines record tags upto certain length, so put most important keywords at start.
rather stuff your page with content

Is your goal to have google read the content, or to hide the content from google? Do you care about other search engines, such as MSN or Yahoo?
