Is there a difference between:


<script language='JavaScript'

AND


<script type="text/javascript"

No, not the functionality.
The first one simply uses the name of the scripting language, while the second uses the MIME type of the language. Both will result in Javascript-code afterwards.

More about MIME here.

I don't really understand what you're trying to tell me, Mr. Ramesh Kumar. You're showing exactly what I just told him. You can use both, and both are just used for Javascript code. By the way, your code is filled with errors.

Why do you have to specify language at all? If you just write <script>, won't the webbrowser automatically assume it is javascript that's comming?

Some browsers have Javascript as default, if you're just using the script-tag, without specifying the language. I know Internet Explorer did that once, but I don't know about now.
It's usually a good thing to specify the language, it could had been VBScript as well? If so, if you're only using script, without specifying the language, and it thinks it's Javascript, then it would produce errors, because it actually was VBScript.
