How to rewrite URL Links that are Generated By Javascripts

Hello,
I need to use URL rewriting for My site.

How ever the rewriter class only rewrites whats written using   $page or URLFOR() methods.
Like :  
<apex:outputlink value="{!URLFOR($page.pagename,null,[pageid='asdvsv'])}"> This is rewritabale link</apex:outputlink>

this also works fine:
  
<a href="{!URLFOR($page.pagename,null,[pageid='asdvsv'])}"> This is rewritabale link</a>

how ever when it comes to use a simple string to specify URL. It failes poorly.
  
<a href="/pagename?pageid=sdsfv"> This fails in rewriting</a>

the above links are generated as a part of javascript output.

Is there any way or work around to make them rewritable too.

Please Help.

Well I have sorted this out , you have to give the  SEO  Friendly URL directly and It will be inverse mapped. when using dynamic links as in javascript

like if your url is 
/pagename?pageid='dsdsdsdvsa'
 which become SEO friendly as /pagename/mypage.

you need to use /pagename/mypage. directly  in dynamic links.  other wise you must use
{!URLFOR($page.pagename,null,[pageid='asdvsv'])}" which will convert this to the same URL friendly URL

Hi Abhilash,

You need to apend '/apex' for the href.
Can you try the below one 
<a href="/apex/pagename?pageid=sdsfv"> This fails in rewriting</a>

There is know error Its simply not working.

Like here  : http://sfecom-developer-edition.ap2.force.com/

the first link  uses :   
<apex:outputLink value="{!URLFOR($page.testindexpage,null,[pageid='sdasdvg'])}">this is written USING URL FOR Method </apex:outputLink>


 
the second 

  
<a href="/apex/testindexpage?pageid=sdasdvg">this is written using /apex/testindexpage?pageid=sdasdvg</a>
