Bug #: 31920
Summary: Resource Loader broken in HTML5 mode because
type="text/javascript" is missing
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Resource Loader
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
In Html.php there are multiple places where the attribute
type="text/javascript" is skipped or removed in HTML5 output mode.
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/Html.php?view=markup
According to the HTML5 spec this is allowed.
Now I found a case where it's important to always have the type attribute. In
the Opera web browser with the "NoAds" Opera extension installed and active all
script without the type attribute are blocked.
Now you tell me "this is a problem of the extension then, not a problem of
MediaWiki". I do not agree. It's impossible to tell if this extension is the
only one with this particular problem. Fixing the extension would solve the
problem for this extension only, leaving an unknown number of extensions and
other tools and scripts broken.
Instead of starting a discussion about this I suggest to simply add the type
attribute. It's not wrong or forbidden according to the spec. It's valid HTML5.
It's more compatible with this attribute. The one and only downside is: it adds
a few bytes. That's all from what I know. A few bytes for better compatibility.
Previous discussion about this topic:

Could be related to Bug #25179 and several other bugs relates to the Resource
Loader but I'm not sure since there is to less information.
