Having developed web apps since 1996 I often find new ways of doing old things. So I was wondering what is the proper JavaScript tag to use on new development?

Currently I use something like this for XHTML

<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */

/* ]]> */
</script> 

I have read somewhere that this may cause problem with older browsers.

But use to use the following:

<script language="javascript">

<script type="text/javascript">

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

What is the prefered method and why?
