XHTML / <script> tag 2

[1DMF]

i'm trying to validate my first XHTML document.

i'm getting this error

there is no attribute "language".

for this line

<script language="JavaScript"

? is that right , you no longer specify the language for the script tag? does it infer that it's Javascript automaticaly.

are there many of these changes in available tag attributes I should be aware of?

thanks

I think you have to use the type attribute now

If you have a look at the web design groups information on any tags, they will tell you what you are supposed to be using e.g.

thanks, Dan, ca8msm, got me on the right track, luckily i already new the syntax for type, so new instantly how to chnage it - for once.

I am stuck on this though, and I know i could google but seings i'm here i might as well ask, I need to do the following to get my HTML template to validate.

1. escape <
2. escape >
3. escape "

now I know the code for left chevron is '&lt;' , what's the right one!

also should I escape " (double_quote) or do what i've just done and use ' (single quote) instead.
