Do you need a type attribute at all  If you re using HTML5  no  Otherwise  yes  HTML 4 01 and XHTML 1 0 specifies the type attribute as required while HTML5 has it as optional  defaulting to text javascript  HTML5 is now widely implemented  so if you use the HTML5 doctype   lt script gt     lt  script gt  is valid and a good choice    As to what should go in the type attribute  the MIME type application javascript registered in 2006 is intended to replace text javascript and is supported by current versions of all the major browsers  including Internet Explorer 9   A quote from the relevant RFC      This document thus defines text javascript and text ecmascript but marks them as  obsolete    Use of experimental and unregistered media types  as listed in part above  is discouraged   The media types       application javascript     application ecmascript       which are also defined in this document  are intended for common use and should be used instead    However  IE up to and including version 8 doesn t execute script inside a  lt script gt  element with a type attribute of either application javascript or application ecmascript  so if you need to support old IE  you re stuck with text javascript

Both will work but xhtml standard requires you to specify the type too    lt script type  text javascript  gt    lt  script gt     lt  ELEMENT SCRIPT - -  Script           -- script statements -- gt   lt  ATTLIST SCRIPT   charset      Charset        IMPLIED  -- char encoding of linked resource --   type         ContentType    REQUIRED -- content type of script language --   src          URI            IMPLIED  -- URI for an external script --   defer        defer          IMPLIED  -- UA may defer execution of script --    gt         type   content-type  CI        This attribute specifies the scripting language of the element s   contents and overrides the default   scripting language  The scripting   language is specified as a content   type  e g    text javascript      Authors must supply a value for this   attribute  There is no default value   for this attribute    Notices the emphasis above   http   www w3 org TR html4 interact scripts html  Note  As of HTML5  far away   the type attribute is not required and is default

You need to use  lt script type  text javascript  gt   lt  script gt  unless you re using html5  In that case you are encouraged to prefer  lt script gt        lt  script gt   because type attribute is specified by default to that value

[javascript] Which is better: <script type="text/javascript">...</script> or <script>...</script>
