		gorm on Oct 7, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Javascript apps can be fully crawlable Very cool, but something I don't get: - Try to go to prerender.io, press "Install It -> Ruby on rails". Now it loads the ruby on rails example. - Then go all the way down and change to "Prerendereed content". Pressing "Install It -> Ruby on rails" doesn't do anything now. Shouldn't it render the same content? "Add the middleware gem to your Gemfile..." and so on.

prerender.io uses js(bootstrap) for the tab switching. So the prerendered page doesn't do anything because it doesn't load that javascript.
