Meta tag for scripting language

[Robert Scheer]

Hi.

I have some doubts about this meta tag:
<META http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript">

Do I really need to declare this meta tag in all my pages?

If I declare it, will I still need to create my scripts this way?
<script type='text/javascript'>

Is there any advantage/disadvantage when using it?

Thanks,
Robert Scheer

Those that use intrinsic events (onclick etc.).

Yes. The type attribute is required on script elements. The
Content-Script-Type is used for the scripts inside intrinsic event
handlers.

It is required by the HTML specification. Browsers don't really
care. They default to Javascript is nothing else is written.

If and only if you're using HTML 4 or XHTML 1.0, not if you're using
other HTML's.
