[font=Arial]Is google blacklisting javascript redirects?

 [font=Arial] If so, it voids the current Ripple project as it uses said code. [http://www.osflash.org/ripple/overview](http://www.osflash.org/ripple/overview)[/font]

 [font=Arial]Maybe google can’t detect redirects if they’re buried in external js files like Ripples setup?[/font]

     [font=Arial][/font][font=Arial]Should we just use the [/font]Jim Kremens’s method instead? (redirecting with mod_rewrite)

```

 [font=Arial]Fine, but what would keep future bots from cloaking themselves and bypassing server-side redirects as well?[/font]
