Javascript and Googlebot

Just update the design of our real estate website (easystreetrealty-indy.com). Can anyone tell me if they think a google bot will be able to crawl the links contained in the search header (directly below the search for homes section). I have read conflicting reviews about googles ability to open java script. Thanks in advance.

    Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't

    I assume you have a better chance if the links are only
    tweaked using javascript. That is, they are part of the
    javascript code. Since your code does not seem to have them,
    I would take that they will not. In fact, your code seems to hide them.

    In fact, your links show up as javascript:void(0), at least
    on my firefox browser.

    That's not a good sign.

    If you made the hidden links as part of the code that is visible to
    search engines, you would have a better chance.
