W3C Validation Throws Warnings on Javascript Tags

  • When trying to run through the W3C validator at validator.w3.org your plugin is throwing warnings on the instances of <script type="text/javascript"> due to that not being properly formatted for HTML5 since the type attribute is redundant. The specific warning is…

    The type attribute is unnecessary for JavaScript resources.

    You should update all instances of…

    <script type="text/javascript">

    … with the following which matches core WordPress logic…

    <?php $type_attr = current_theme_supports( 'html5', 'style' ) ? '' : ' type="text/javascript"'; ?>
<script<?php echo $type_attr; ?>>
