Writing Article on HTML5 Need Help

Postby onlineconnect » Sat May 15, 2010 10:57 pm

Hello everyone, I am writing an article on html5 and I really would appreciate your input. Would any people here be willing to review the article and give their opinion once I write it (still researching) also I would like to ask some questions would that be OK?

My first question really regards <script> in XHTML script needed to be defined as in <script type="text/javascript">, the script tag is used to define a client side script "such as javascript". In html5 <script> seems to just mean "Javascript" now considering the amount of server side languages available does that not restrict future development of client side scripting languages? Especially as unlike <img src> script is embedded and cannot be defined by MIME.

Thanks in advance for any responses

As a moderator here my perspective is that the forum isn't really fast paced so try to be patient and you'll eventually get a response. :wink:

There is a Microsoft scripting language called Visual Basic that also uses the script element. It's proprietary though however since XML is a very open language it's not all that difficult to add new technologies or a competing or complimentary scripting language in addition to JavaScript.

No. The default is javascript, so if you use javascript, there's no need to declare it. But <script> can still be used for other languages by specifying the language in type="". For example, to use vbscript, use <script type="text/vbscript">.
