What is the difference between “lang” and “type” attributes in a script tag?
JavaScript lang attribute
This attribute specifies what scripting language you are using. Typically, its value will be javascript. Although recent versions of HTML (and XHTML, its successor) have phased out the use of this attribute.
JavaScript type attribute
This attribute is what is now recommended to indicate the scripting language in use and its value should be set to "text/javascript".
Here you can see how it is used:
<html>
<body>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write("Hello World!")
//-->
</script>
</body>
</html>
