There probably isn’t any indexing tool in existance that follows JavaScript links, because they don’t know how to initiate JavaScript events. Realistically, it would take a full JavaScript parser in order to be able to figure out all the possible URLs that the code could generate, something that’s way beyond the means of any search engine.
