Re: [WSG] JavaScript Language Clarifying within HTML
The language attribute was deprecated in html 4, so I wouldn't advise using it. see: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/scripts.html#h-18.2.1 Thanks, David On 14/7/09 13:23, Brett Patterson wrote: I am not sure about the most recent standards regarding the language attribute of the SCRIPT tag within an HTML page, so I would like to know if it is still recommended to use the language attribute within the SCRIPT tag?

Section 18.2.1 of the W3C HTML 4.01 Specification http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/scripts.html also provides that the type attribute should be used to perform the function previously carried out by the script element's language attribute.
