The MIME type for a block of script code.

JScript - 3.0
Internet Explorer - 4.0

This is an alternative method of selecting the interpreter to be used for the <SCRIPT> block. It has limited support prior to the version 4.0 browsers and so it may be less portable for a while.

Warnings:

Example code:

   <SCRIPT TYPE="text/JavaScript">

   document.write("Basic functionality")

   </SCRIPT>
