Re: [WSG] simple javascript question

[David]

Hi Ted,
I think it really depends on the doctype (i.e (X)HTML Strict or Transitional) of the document. In Strict Doctypes the attribute "language" is deprecated in script elements. See this quick guide:

http://www.zvon.org/xxl/xhtmlReference/Output/comparison.html

However in transitional/ loose doctypes the attribute is allowed.

The "type" attribute is the only required attribute for the script element

Check this:

[WSG] simple javascript question

Is this valid
language=JavaScript type=text/javascript
or should I just have type only. I'm afraid of breaking any functions that 
might require the language.

Hi Ted,

I'm no javascript expert, but I believe language=javascript is
deprecated and no longer really required anyway. I only use 'type' and
haven't found any scripts breaking.

Cheers
Jason.
