Without seeing the full validation report, I can only make guesses.
From what you've posted, I am assuming that the validator suggested that you needed to specify the script language, and it gave you an example. Have you put that example meta tag in the head of your document, and tried to re-validate?

Use w3c for validation purpose. The URL follows;
http://validator.w3.org/
Either you need to specify the url or attach the page below. We cannot guess what causes the error..

In the new version of the validator, they are going one step forward when it comes to validate embedded script attributes. Technicaly there has been a "request" to use a meta tag that describe what kind of script is used for embedded attributes, like "onload" or "onclick", on the page. This "request" was not mandatory to have the page valid but seams to be that now, at least for XHTML.

Add the meta tag or change your doctype
