can search engines index javascript-generated pages?

Can search engines index Javascript-generated pages? I'm looking at the source of a site that uses CSS and Javascript. The body of the page's HTML has hardly any text. Apparently the text is generated by a Javascript "showPage();" command. Will search engines index the generated text, or just what I can see in the source?

I'm no expert, but I believe that the answer is no, SE's can't see javascript - they will only see what you see in the source code.

Thanks, I figured that was the case but just wanted to make sure before I told someone they need to throw out their site and start over.
