[#23631] - Removing type="text/javascript" from script tags
- Closed
- 22 Jan 2019
- Very low
- Build: 3.9
- # 23631
Steps to reproduce the issue
Every <script> tag in the system has the type="text/javascript" attribute, just look in the source
Expected result
For a Java Script remove the type attribute
Actual result
System information (as much as possible)
Every system version
Additional comments
As the type="text/javascript" attribute is considered unnecessary in W3C validator maybe we should just remove it for those type of scripts? Why send to the browser something that isn't necessary.

In 3.x, Joomla core defaults to XHTML/HTML4 compliant syntax which uses the type attributes.
In 4.0, Joomla core defaults to HTML5 which omits type attributes for default types.
This behavior can be toggled with $this->setHtml5() as indicated by @C-Lodder.
Closing as this is expected API behavior.

It should be removed unless otherwise specified or
$this->setHtml5(true)has been defined.Same goes for
type="text/css
