Just a simple question.

I am looking at some javascript code here:

<script class="brush: java" type="syntaxhighlighter">
... some content
</script>

What do the class, type attributes mean exactly in this script element?

I get when type is set to javascript or vbscript but I guess this a technique to set it to your own script? yeah.

And then what does class mean?

Note:
I have thru some doc: http://xhtml.com/en/xhtml/reference/script/
and the O’Reilly Javascript book by Flanagan. Just want a very precise answer if that’s possible. Thanks.

    The class attribute is not valid in HTML 4

    In HTML5, the class attribute can be used on any HTML element (it will validate on any HTML element. However, it is not necessarily useful)

    The type attribute specifies the MIME type of a script. “syntaxhighlighter” is not in the list of standard MIME types.

    Is this sample from a working web page? What doctype is it using?
