Search engines are seemingly going beyond simply reading HTML. They are having a look at what JS and CSS do to the content.

Re: An interesting move from Search Engines
Thanks Mike. That's definitely something to consider (as well as interesting).
It caused me to review my robots.txt file and I found that I neglected to add a path that I should have had... but it wasn't blocking JavaScript or CSS content.
This might be a good reminder for people to review any robots.txt files you may have.
