<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

The atribute language="javscript" has been depricated from the HTML4.01 and its not supported in XHTML.
the script element lets the browser know that code between these tags will be of a scriptting language,there are several values that can be used

such as
text/ecmascript
text/javascript
text/jscript
text/vbscript
text/vbs
text/xml

If you plan on writing valid HTML then the type attribute is required for *all* script tags.
