It would be cool if

It would be cool if you could use Javascript and the DOM to sort tables in the browser, wouldn’t it? Looking for something like that, I found this article about manipulating tables with the DOM and linked from it, this very cool Japanese page demonstrating DOM-based Dynamic HTML.

Hmm, I wonder if the text I use as a link affects how the URL is rated by smart search engines like Google. Does linking that last page using words like “DOM” and “Dynamic HTML” help its ratings (and ultimately make it easier to find for people to whom it would be useful) more than if I’d linked it as “Cool Japanese page”?
