4. OT for this post, but IE7 seems not to like the

Use text/javascript or nothing.

That I do. It was another of those little experiments, except I wes
confusing myself with some of the new 1.8 (incomplete) docs I found, and
just started messing around. Notcied FireFox executed the code for me
and IE didn't, then went back to standard.


It's better to use nothing. That's because W3C defines it as "text/
javascript" so IE is behaving correctly according to standard. But
unhelpfully IETF decided to define the MIME type of javascripts as
"application/javascript". So, technically, web servers should serve
pages as content-type "application/javascript" but in HTML it should
be declared as "text/javascript" (which is actually a non-existent
MIME type according to IETF). That is why it's better to just say
<script></script>.
