Form > Crawler doesn't follow select dropdown links

[guy10]

Hi,

A question here:
I've got a SELECT dropdown & form on my homepage visitors need to use in order to select a town. The problem is the XML-sitemap doesn't crawl the different select options (all unique url's) but it should do that. I'm only getting back some general pages (links in footer / header menu).

Site: [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
OR in English: [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]

Sitemap: [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]

How can I make sure the sitemap is crawling through all the subpages...
The selection a user makes is stored in a cookie so he/she only needs to select a city once. Maybe that's a problem (but I don't see ANY cities in my xml sitemap)...

Anyone to the rescue?

Hello,

all pages must be accessible via <a href=""> links and should be working with javascript disabled in the browser to allow crawler bots to find them.

That did the trick indeed. Thanks for the quick reply.
Should all these links be visible or can I "display:none" them so they are only visible for bots?
Or will SEO punish me for this kind of trics.

Those can be invisible for the sitemap generator bot, although it's not recommended for search engines bots.
