The <SCRIPT><SCRIPT>
is usually just assumed as JavaScript, though it could mean just any scripting language follows (VBScript etc.)

Adding the language="JavaScript" specifies what language, so to use VBScript you have to add language="VBScript" otherwise it will likely be assumed as a JavaScript.

The addition of the 1.x stuff at the end is just like Lloyd said, the different versions offer support for different features. It is supposed to keep a script written for a higher version from working in a browser supporting a lower version (though some of those browsers do not support the number in the attribute anyway!)

There are different features available for the different JavaScript versions. I don't know what these differences are. You could try searching at Netscape or Microsoft.

Whenever I use the <SCRIPT> tag I just use <SCRIPT LANAGUAGE="JavaScript">. It works for me.
