Question

I was reading a tutorial on HTML 5 Canvas Animation with javascript (of course). In the header, the author used
application/javascript which is rather new to me because I’ve only seen text/javascript used. Can anyone help?
There is every likelihood this question has been asked before but I’m using a phone to do this so I can’t see any similar questions.

Thanks

• text/javascript – is obsolete
• application/javascript – MIME type for JS

Guidelines:

• Use application/javascript on the server to return MIME type
• Use text/javascript for type attributes of <script> tag although it’s not really required
