javascript - HTML5 <script> declarations

Question

Is it still necessary (or even good practice) when using HTML5 to declare the script type when using a script block?

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

Plus what about using a CDATA block in the script for browser parsing?

e.g. // <![CDATA[ ... ~code here ~... // ]]>

Any help much appreciated.

Answer 1

The current draft of HTML5 doesn't require the type attribute for script tags.

Also the <![CDATA is not required in HTML5 (it was XHTML specific anyway).
