Should I use script language attribute or script type?

[vikas251074]

Hello everybody,
Should I use script language attribute or script type? Is there any difference? Until now I have used script language attribute in my all programme where javascript has to be used.

Thanks and regards,
Vikas

use the type attribute, the language attribute is deprecated ... have a look here ... and using it could cause the page to fail HTML-validation with some doctypes ...

kind regards

the default language for virtually all browsers is javascript. neither attribute is needed, unless you are mixing scripting languages on a single page. the type attrib is required by xhtml, but your script could care less.

even when mixing languages in a page the language attribute is useless ... since you just could use the type attribute too ... there is no need ever to use deprecated attributes unless any browser explicitly cares about ...

kind regards
