Scripts?

What language, other than JavaScript, can you use in the <script> tags of an html page, if any?

The langauge attribute is actually depreciated in favour of the type="mime" attribute, but if this is what you mean I believe you can use...

type="text/javascript"
type="text/vbscript"
type="text/jscript"

the bottom 2 only in MSIE.

You can also use type="text/javascriptxx" where xx is javascript version.

I use <script langauge="javascript" type="text/javascript"> for compatibility in browsers.

Yeah and I seem to remember if a browser doesn't understand type or you've left out language then it should assume it's JavaScript.

yes you could also make it like this

<script language="php" src="http://www.yourhost.com/myscript.php"></script>

but it will only work on *nix systems as it won't on a windows system.

You can theorically use anything - the browser should determine what in supports

BTW, IE can also use "PerlScript" after its installed - and how to make your own ActiveX Scripting Langauge is documented at MSDN - it'll work with IE, ASP, and WSH.
