When I visit this board, I see this frequently:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <script language=javascript>
but "language=javas cript" was deprecated in 1996. So, why do people still use it? It doesn't do anything.

Because they don't know any better, they (or their teachers) are just copying outdated examples.

Yes, people just copy code. We have this same problem with document.all and document.layers and other forms of outdated browser detection techniques.

Instead of language=javasc ript, use type="text/javascript", see link (for the benefit of anyone who doesn't know)
