two possibilities or the attribute type of script :
text/javascript (the one i usually use)
application/x-javascript
what are the differencies between both ?
depends on the html content ?
for example html 4.0.1 versus xhtml 1.1 ???

application/javascript became official sometime last year. It'll be a
while before browser support is there though I suspect, so its
probably wise to continue using text/javascript for the time being.
(Browsers tend to ignore the content type in the HTTP header for
scripts though, so moving to application/javascript on the server is
probably good future planning)

application/x-javascript is default Content-Type for .js files on
Microsoft IIS for at least 8 years by now.
Do not mix with application/javascript from RFC #4329 - that is all
another joke.
Neither one is recognized by IE if used as <scriptelemen t attribute.
It means that inline scripts will be silently ignored - that's a good
reason IMO to never use neither of them.
For linked .js files one can set type="foobar/rulez" or set nothing
at all: type attribute with src set is ignored since Netscape 3.0 - so
roughly since forever.

So? Its taken a while to become standard.

No, its finally a standard. Nothing funny about it.

Yes, I said that.

Why not? Support should arrive in time, and there comes a point where
support for older browsers is dropped. We don't worry about browsers
that don't support the HTTP Host header, do we?
For linked .js files one can set type="foobar/rulez" or set nothing
at all: type attribute with src set is ignored since Netscape 3.0 - so
roughly since forever.
I might experiment with that at some point to find out exactly what
browser behaviour is. I wouldn't like to gamble on them error
correcting though.

<script type="applicati on/javascript">
document.write( "<p>This script will not work for 89% of visitors</
p>");
</script>
So you mean like "No big deal this block will be ignored for the
majority of my visitors. Few years latter it may start working - for
the time being consider it as a page source decoration".
Conceptual... But hardly practical - and definitely not something to
suggest IMO.
P.S. RFC != standard

Do you have some sort of difficulty in grasping the concept of doing
something differently IN THE FUTURE? Not now. Not the immediate future. Not
soon. Not until support is there.

No, like don't say *never*, because eventually support will arrive -
maybe even for the beleaguered 89% with sub-standard browsers. :-)

No one suggested it was - a fact pointed out by Une Bévue. However, a
great deal of standardisation on the web is based on RFCs.

Does anyone know where I can find an ASP server side script written in

Hello folks, I'm looking for a script to validate a specific number

An example would be, if someone enters a number into a form input, I

Like if the script value is set for 3000 and the number 3002 is
entered, I want an alert to pop and give a warning,

Introduction
Many websites have a form or a link you can use to download a file. You click a form button or click on a link and after a moment or two a file download dialog box pops-up in your web browser and prompts you for some instructions, such as “open” or “save“. I’m going to show you how to do that using a perl script.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
