Sandia Reference

Note: In one Netscape publication this tag is listed as starting with version 1.0. The first time I saw it was 3.0b5. help

This was a Netscape tag that instigated the execution of a related (Java) script file.

MSIE 3.0 DTD lists this tag with the four common attributes: "class=", "id=", "lang=" and "style=". However, their inclusion does not seem practical. Consider it a possible error.

This has been deprecated in favour of the "type=" attribute, below.

"the LANGUAGE attribute is mandatory unless the SRC attribute is present and specifies the scripting language." (Netscape)

"The SRC attribute is optional and, if given, specifies a URL that loads the text of a cript. Both attributes may be present.

"The SRC attribute specifies the scripting language by using the .js suffix. The suffix must be mapped by the web server to the MIME type "application/x-javascript" which the server sends back in the HTTP GET reply's Content-type: header. Without a properly configured server (one that maps .js filename suffix to application/x-javascript" MIME), Netscape won't respond properly with the data coming back in the HTTP response to the SRC-initiated request."
