Yes, you're right. However, changing that would cause MSIE, versions 6+ IIRC, not to execute the script (neat, huh?). The script has no critical role at all, not to mention we really shouldn't have bad examples on v.w.o, so I'll change that. > Which is neither registered?! application/x-javascript is a common practice. x-foo types are private extensions, which are not registered. Unfortunately, it's the best option here currently. One just can't invent a non-x-foo media type and start to use it, they have to be registered by IANA. -- \/ille Skyttä ville.skytta at iki.fiReceived on Saturday, 1 February 2003 05:57:46 UTC
