-1. `application/javascript` is a registered mime type and should be used: http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/

A:
From Wikipedia on Internet Media Types
application/javascript:JavaScript; Defined in RFC 4329 but not accepted in IE 8 or earlier
There is also the deprecated text/javascript (which IE will probably not choke on).

A:
According to the IANA Registered MIME media type list, JS has two registered MIME types; the obsolete text/javascript and the now official application/javascript.
Thus, use application/javascript.
