SEO and Sitemaps

Sitemaps help SEO, right?
I have been trying to generate a sitemap with free online sources. Each one I try seem to give me the same results in that they only crawl my homepage. Is that normal or is it because my navigation menu is in a javascript file? Is there any way to work around this?

Don't use javascript navigation. Users hate it, and so do search engines. Use ordinary HTML links <a href="somepage">

I am currently testing out using python with google webmaster tools. So far things are looking good.
