'Script Tag Type for Jquery

I'm trying to implement a script inside my HTML file. It's going to have jQuery inside, and I want to know what's the correct way of marking the script type attribute.

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

Right now it's implemented in this way, but it's showing me some errors. Or should I implement it like"text/jquery"? What's the correct way?



Solution 1:[1]

JavaScript written by other people is still JavaScript. jQuery is not a programming language.

Omit the type attribute entirely for JavaScript (except when the file is an ES6 module).

You can use type="text/javascript", but it is bloat and an opportunity to make a type that breaks things.


it's showing me some errors

Whatever the errors are, they aren't caused by you using type="text/javascript" to load some JavaScript.
