The HTML <script> type attribute specifies the type of script that is being represented. The type attribute identifies the content that appears between the <script> and </script> tags. It specifies the script’s MIME type and identifies the Tag’s content. It has a single value, media type, that specifies the MIME type of the script. It has a default value of “text/javascript.”
Note: JavaScript no longer requires the type attribute in HTML5.
Syntax :
<script type="script_media_type">
This attribute’s value will fall into one of the following categories:
- <script type=”text/javascript “>
- <script type=”application/javascript”>
- <script type=”application/ecmascript”>
- <script type=”text/ecmascript”>
Example :
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html> < html >
< script type = "text/javascript" >
let typeValue = document.querySelector('script[type]');
let id = typeValue.getAttribute('type');
</ script >
< body >
< h2 >
Specifying the media type of the script in HTML5
</ h2 >
< p >Media Type of Script:
< strong id = "scriptType" ></ strong >
</ p >
< script >
document.getElementById("scriptType").innerHTML = id;
</ script >
</ body >
</ html >
