When embedding JavaScript in ASP.NET/HTML, what are the differences between the following codes, if any?

<script language="JavaScript"> is deprecated as "language" value is an identifier which has no standards.

type="text/javascript" is the correct syntax. This overrides the default scripting language.

<script language="JavaScript"> is deprecated as "language" value is an identifier which has no standards.

type="text/javascript" is the correct syntax. This overrides the default scripting language.

type = content-type

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" ). We have to supply a value for this attribute. There is no default value for this attribute.


language ="JavaScript"

This attribute specifies the scripting language of the contents of this element. Its value is an identifier for the language, but since these identifiers are not standard, this attribute has been deprecated(outdated by newer constructs) in favor of type.
