<div id="eventDetails">
</div>

<script id="eventDetailsTemplate" type="text/x-jquery-tmpl">
<div width="100%"><a href="Pages/Events/Show/${Id}">
<img src="${ImgUrl}" alt="${HeadLine} Logo" height="70px" width="162px" /></a></div>
<a href="Pages/Events/Show/${Id}">
<b>${HeadLine}</b></a>
<br>
{{html Details}}
<br>
Date :- ${EventDate}
<br>
<p align="right">
<a href="Pages/Events/Show/${Id}">More...</a></p>
<hr>

</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
/* Render the template with the events data and */

$('#eventDetailsTemplate').tmpl(upcomingEventList) .appendTo('#eventDetails');

</script>

The URL in your code isn't fixed and is generated on the fly based on URL fragments dynamically assembled, depending on where the mouse is and what the user clicks on. It isn't going to work.

Just add some plain old HTML links.

[Ray]

I don't see any <noscript> tag in the above example. You said it didn't work, there's probably a reason why. If you just have plain HTML links in your <noscript> tag, then the only likelihood of it not working is some mistake in your HTML.

I am using noscript like given here but the spider does not index it

[David]

It should be indexing the link. Check the indexer log to be sure.

So reasons it migt skip the link, even if it was found are,

* If the base URL is not set to localhost it will skip the link (you would see the error "Skipping http://localhost/Pages/News/Show/1 (External site - does not match base URL)" )

* If you haven't enabled "Scan files with no extensions" in the scan options it will skip the link as there is no file extension (you would see the error "Skipping http://localhost/Pages/News/Show/1 (Blocked by extensions list)" )

* If you're not running Zoom from the same machine as the pages it will likely fail due to the localhost link

.....zoom search is indexing these javascript links after using no script

If the page is in fact being indexed, then the some / all of the text on the page might be being skipped becuase,

The page isn't valid HTML?
The text is being skipped due to NOINDEX meta tags?
The text is being skipped becuase it is in ZOOMSTOP tags?
The text is being skipped becuase it isn't really text, e.g. it is really an image, or embedded in Flash, or not in HTML, etc..

Hard to comment without seeing the page.

You asked the same question, so the answer is the same,

If the page is in fact being indexed, then the some / all of the text on the page might be being skipped because,

The page isn't valid HTML?
The text is being skipped due to NOINDEX meta tags?
The text is being skipped because it is in ZOOMSTOP tags?
The text is being skipped because it isn't really text, e.g. it is really an image, or embedded in Flash, or not in HTML, etc..

Hard to comment in more detail without seeing the page in question.

zoom automatic indexing

How can we schedule multiple sites indexing using zoom automatic indexing tool.
at the moment i am able to specify only one.

[David]

Do you want multiple sites in a single set of index files.
Or do you want multiple sets of index files with 1 site per set of files.
Both are possible.

If it is the later you want, then you need to make a configuration file (from the File menu) per site. Then if you want them scheduled, you need to create a scheduled job per site.
