Hey, Nick. The attribute language="JavaScript" was introduced back when Netscape first introduced javascript -- but it is now deprecated in HTML 4.01. In fact, it's not supported at all in strict XHTML.

The recommended attribute is type="text/javascript". If you want deep backward compatibility, you can use them both:

<script src="file.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
