Hi, > I was just wondering why META tags like: > > <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Script-Type" CONTENT="text/javascript;"> > > are being ignored by the HTML Validation Service? They are not being ignored. The declaration of the default scripting language is needed for intrinsic events (specified with "onload", "onsubmit", etc.). > For example see: > > http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.wyldeside.com/ > > I only ever use one type of scripting language on a page and I > followed the standard as described at: > > http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/interact/scripts.html#h-18.2.1 > > See "18.2.2 Specifying the scripting language" for exact details. > > If the validator did acknowledge this META tag then my page would > be a valid HTML 4.0 Transitional document. No, it wouldn't. The TYPE-attribute is required for each SCRIPT-element, as specified in <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/scripts.html#edef-SCRIPT>.
